Abstract :
Some cyanobacteria are considered important biological resources in the production of food products due to the existence of balance in chemical compounds and can be used as improvers and enhancers of the nutritional value of foods in humans and animals. Spirulinaplatensis is the richest additive in terms of protein, some vitamins, especially vitamin B12 and the precursor of vitamin A, minerals, especially iron and calcium, and other biologically active compounds, including antioxidant compounds, the important natural pigment phycocyanin and essential fatty acids such as gammalinolinic acid. . This cyanobacterium has been introduced by the World Health Organization as "the best food" and also as "the best solution for tomorrow". The benefits and superiority of this cyanobacterium compared to other food plant sources and other algae, along with not having a cellulose cell wall, made it easier to absorb its nutrients and play a distinct role in improving the value of healthy food products. In this research, the medicinal properties and the role and importance of this nobacterium in enhancing the nutritional value of foods have been investigated.
