Microalgae are a renewable potential source of high-value products. The superficial activity of CO2 sequestration and accumulation of lipids inside make it useful for large scale cultivation. Constant high energy demands and depletion of fossil fuel resources have focused on the technologies to improve biofuel yield through micro-algae development. The ability of microalgae to produce highvalue products, such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) helps in increasing their global demand. This review focused on production, purification of DHA, EPA and carotenoids, their operational conditions, bio-synthesis pathways, and applications.
