    Researchers investigated a method for producing lactic acid and extracting lipids from microalgae biomass. They acid hydrolyzed microalgae biomass at high temperature, which facilitated lipid extraction. The highest sugar yield from hydrolysis was 64.3% at a biomass loading of 15%. Lipid-free hydrolysate was used for lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus pentosus, achieving a 92.8% lactic acid yield. Lipid yields with and without acid hydrolysis were 85.6% and 48.7%, respectively, showing the developed method effectively extracts lipids and produces lactic acid from microalgae biomass.

    A method for lactic acid production and lipid extraction from microalgae
    (Nannochloropsis salina) biomass was investigated. Microalgae biomass was acid (5%
    H2SO4) hydrolyzed at 120 °C for 1 h, and subsequently treated with hexane at 40 °C
    and 200 rpm to separate lipid from the hydrolysate. The sugar (glucose plus xylose)
    yield reached 64.3% and remained the same until the biomass loading of 15% (w/v)
    after which, it dropped. Lipid free hydrolysate was neutralized and used as
    fermentation medium for Lactobacillus pentosus for lactic acid production. Lactic
    acid yield reached 92.8% at sugar 3–25 g/l, 30 °C and shaking speed 150 rpm under
    anaerobic condition. The acid hydrolysis facilitated lipid extraction from microalgae
    biomass, and lipid yields with and without acid hydrolysis were 85.6% and 48.7%,
    respectively. Results suggest that the developed method can be successfully applied
    in lipid extraction and lactic acid production from microalgae biomass.
