Drozd, Jiří ; Naď, Martin (referee) ; Lošák, Pavel (advisor)
This work describe microalgae and their properties. Within the scope of the work, a research was conducted on the utilized microalgae and the possibilities of cultivation in the Central European region were examined. Furthermore, harvesting and drying methods for microalgae were analyzed, and an experiment was conducted using a promising spray drying method. The research revealed the properties and potential uses of microalgae. Various types of microalgae, their nutritional values, and possibilities of application in a wide range of fields were investigated. The cultivation possibilities of microalgae in the Central European region, including the utilization of wastewater and renewable energy sources, were also examined. Harvesting and drying methods for microalgae were analyzed, considering the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques such as flocculation, centrifugation, and spray drying. An experiment utilizing the spray drying method was conducted, and the results showed that this method is effective and enables the achievement of high quality and purity of dried microalgae. The work also explores the possibilities of further development and utilization of microalgae. It describes the potential use of microalgae as food supplements and as alternatives to traditional protein sources. Additionally, the potential applications of microalgae in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries were mentioned. In conclusion, this work provides information on the utilization of microalgae and the methods of cultivation, harvesting, and drying. The results suggest that microalgae have great potential for further development and utilization in various industries.
