What is Spirulina: A Key Source of SCP about?

Single cell protein (SCP) can be produced from microorganisms like algae, yeast and bacteria. Green algae like Chlorella and Spirulina are good sources of SCP as they contain 55-65% protein. Agricultural waste streams can be used to grow algae for SCP production. While algal protein is nutritious and comparable to plant and animal proteins, further processing is needed before using algal SCP for human consumption to remove cell walls and potential contaminants.
