Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the lighting conditions for an optimal production of Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis quantitatively and qualitatively for the process most commonly used by producers. A design of experiments made it possible to obtain surface modelling of responses which were validated under pilot conditions. Spirulina growth, protein and pigment content were modelled as a function of light intensity and duration of illumination. For each of them, the optima have been determined: 14 h (hours light exposure)/10 Klux (light intensity) for the growth rate; 11.8 h/7.2 Klux for phycocyanin rate; 6.2Klux/12.6 h for chlorophyll rate; 6.6Klux/12.6 h for carotene rate. The protein rate is the lowest when lighting conditions are of 10.6 Klux and 14.4 h. It is then possible for the producer to partially obscure the ponds and/or increase the light intensity using additional lighting.
