This in turn enables green biorefinery of protein, contributing to circular bioeconomy whereby less energy, labor, and cost are required for the process. By utilizing electric three phase partitioning flotation system, high protein recovery yield, R of 99.42 ± 0.52 and high separation efficiency, E of 52.72 ± 0.40 system was developed. Scaling up also showed high protein recovery yield with R value of 89.13 ± 1.56. Total processing duration (extraction, separation, and purification) was also significantly reduced to 10 min. This system showed remarkable potential in reducing processing time, alternatively cost of production, benefiting microalgal downstream processing. Concisely, through this system, microalgal bioprocessing will no longer be complex allowing a wide array of potentials for further studies in this field. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd publisher: Elsevier Ltd date: 2021 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Azmi, A.A.B. and Chew, K.W. and Chia, W.Y. and Mubashir, M. and Sankaran, R. and Lam, M.K. and Lim, J.W. and Ho, Y.-C. and Show, P.L.
