Wahi a kekahi noiʻi hou i paʻi ʻia ma ka puke pai "Exploring Food", ua hoʻohana kahi hui honua mai ʻIseraʻela, Iceland, Denmark, a me Austria i ka biotechnology holomua e mahi i ka spirulina i loaʻa ka bioactive vitamin B12, kahi like ka nui me ka pipi. ʻO kēia ka hōʻike mua e loaʻa ana i ka spirulina ka bioactive vitamin B12.
Manaʻo ʻia e hoʻoponopono ka noiʻi hou i kekahi o nā hemahema micronutrient maʻamau. ʻOi aku ma mua o 1 biliona kānaka ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa e ʻeha nei i ka hemahema o B12, a ʻo ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ka ʻiʻo a me nā huahana waiū e loaʻa ai ka lawa ʻana o ka B12 (2.4 micrograms i kēlā me kēia lā) he pilikia nui ia i ke kaiapuni.
Ua hāpai nā kānaka ʻepekema i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka spirulina ma ke ʻano he pani no ka ʻiʻo a me nā huahana waiū, ʻoi aku ka hoʻomau. Eia nō naʻe, aia i loko o ka spirulina kuʻuna kahi ʻano i hiki ʻole i nā kānaka ke hoʻohana ma ke ʻano biologically, kahi e keakea ai i kona hiki ke pani.
Ua hoʻomohala ka hui i kahi ʻōnaehana biotechnology e hoʻohana ana i ka hoʻokele photon (nā kūlana kukui i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia) e hoʻonui i ka hana ʻana o ka huaora B12 ikaika i loko o ka spirulina, ʻoiai e hana ana i nā hui bioactive ʻē aʻe me nā hana antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka pale ʻana. Hiki i kēia ʻano hana hou ke hana i ka biomass waiwai i ka meaʻai me ka hoʻokō ʻana i ke kūlike ʻole o ke kalapona. ʻO ka nui o ka huaora B12 bioactive i loko o ka moʻomeheu i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia he 1.64 micrograms/100 grams, ʻoiai i loko o ka pipi he 0.7-1.5 micrograms/100 grams.
Hōʻike nā hualoaʻa e hiki i ke kaohi ʻana i ka photosynthesis o spirulina ma o ka mālamalama ke hana i ka pae e pono ai o ka huaora B12 ikaika no ke kino o ke kanaka, e hāʻawi ana i kahi koho hoʻomau no nā meaʻai holoholona kuʻuna.
