在食品补充剂领域的新条目中，含有微藻的营养食品必须占有重要的位置，目前该产品占据着一个巨大且迅速扩大的市场。市场上的产品主要基于三个生产菌株，即螺旋藻和小球藻，其次是克拉马斯。这是一种复杂的情况，因为其中两种是蓝藻，第二种是真核生物。事实是，每一种都呈现出关于市场形式和几种用途的形状和外观上的相似之处，以及需要特别注意和充分研究的特殊性。首先，报告了关于每种微藻的当前科学知识的一般信息，特别是在预防和福祉方面的营养价值和特性。第二，介绍了关于上市产品质量控制的原创性研究。质量控制是保健食品验证中的一个关键问题。微藻是一种特殊的生物，需要特定的方法来确认身份和验证特性。提出的质量控制是基于对形貌特征的微观分析。这篇论文的最后部分致力于在使用和声明中的特殊性的必要性，以及对食品补充剂中微藻的未来的考虑。
Among the new entries in the food supplements sector, an important place must be assigned to nutraceuticals containing microalgae, nowadays accounting for a large and rapidly expanding market. The marketed products are mainly based on three production strains, i.e., Spirulina and Chlorella, followed at a distance by Klamath. It is a composite situation, since two of them are cyanobacteria and the second one is eukaryotic. The reality is that each presents similarities in shape and appearance concerning the marketed form and several utilizations, and peculiarities that need special attention and adequate studies. First, general information is reported about the current scientific knowledge on each microalga, in particular the nutritional value and properties in prevention and wellbeing. Second, original studies are presented concerning the quality control of marketed products. Quality control is a key argument in nutraceuticals validation. Microalgae are particular organisms that need specific approaches to confirm identity and validate properties. The proposed control of quality is based on microscopic analysis of the morphologic characteristics. The final parts of this paper are dedicated to the need for specificity in uses and claims and to considerations about the future of microalgae in food supplements.
