Abstract
The intake of carotenogenic Cv did not reveal any signs of toxicity for doses far exceeding the proposed carotenoid human-diet dose. Therefore these preliminary results suggest that the orange Cv microalgae can be used as a source of carotenoids and could be used for human consumption with possible health benefits.
