The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the possibility of breaking stiffness cell wall of Chlorella sp. and extracting and testing functional antioxidant by ethanol and DPPH method separately. The approach used was based on the briefness and environmental protection, which can be utilized for industrial production. Extraction of major components (lutein) by ethanol, and detection is using DPPH free radical scavenging method.
