| Abstract/Notes | Docosahexanoic acid (DHA) is commercially obtained from marine fish. W ith an increasing human population, the supplies of DHA are still not sufficient to meet the world’s need of DHA as food supplement. The objective of this review is to discuss Schizochytrium sp., one of microalgae which is rich in DHA, as one of the best candidate as producer of sustainable and affordable DHA. Heterotrophic microalgae, especially genus Schizochytrium, produces omega-3 fatty acids up to 40% of total unsaturated fatty acids. Cultivation of the microalgae is easy as it does not require sunlight as source of energy. Previous publication reported that several local strains of Schizochytrium have been isolated from mangrove area in Indonesia. W e expect that those strains can be cultivated in mass production as producer of DHA. |
