2024/05/03 - 2024/05/03 | Xperimenta activity with high school students. Students had the opportunity to delve into the science of polysaccharides,
lipids, and pigments derived from algae. In this activity, they learned about the extraction processes of these biomolecules
and analyzed their unique properties, such as color and their ability to form gels and films. This initiative was part of
the Algal Vertical of the Blue Bioeconomy Pact (C644915664-00000026) (2024/05/03 - 2024/05/03)
