Abstract:
A domestic culturing method for producing and consuming fresh Spirulina and improving air quality in a room, comprising the following steps:(a) seeding viable pure Spirulina cells into a water soluble culture medium containing inorganic compound nutrients and having a pH of 8-11; (b) injecting the resulting culture solution containing the Spirulina cells into a domestic electrical appliance equipped with an artificial light source, an automatic temperature controller and a ventilation and draft tube or a stirrer, allowing the Spirulina cells to grow and proliferate for a period of time at a culture solution temperature of 25-40Â° C. (c) collecting matured Spirulina cells from the culture solution by filtration using a fine filter screen and allowing unmatured Spirulina cells to pass through to grow further; optionally, collecting and storing released oxygen by a cap fitted onto the electrical appliance and being in the form of a flexible pocket, or a rigid chamber for supplying to a person in need thereof, or otherwise releasing from the electrical appliance, oxygen regularly and quantitatively; if necessary, removing old Spirulina cells and precipitate using a coarse filter screen; and (d) consuming directly the filtered-out viable matured Spirulina cells after they are rinsed with water; or storing immediately the filtered-out viable Spirulina cells for further use by freezing after they are rinsed with water; or formulating the collected viable Spirulina cells into a paste with cold water and then storing by freezing.
