A method to process microalgae biomass and produce high-value chemicals from microalgae biomass is disclosed. The method uses the same biomass cells to extract more than one component such as lipids, water-soluble chemicals, carotenoids, polysaccharides and algae meal. The method is a sequence of physical and chemical treatments. Water soluble polysaccharides produced by the method exhibit properties of low viscosity at low shear thinning. A method for extracting dietary fiber from microalgal biomass is disclosed. Compositions of water-soluble polysaccharides that are fermented slowly by colon microbiota with less gas production than commercial dietary fiber FOS are disclosed. The present inventions described herein provide a method of improving colon health by increasing butyrate during a microalgal dietary fiber fermenting process by colonic microbiota.

An algal biomass and supernatant derived from at least one species of algae exhibits the ability to maintain general health in humans and non-human animals and promote a healthy immune system in them. Food, feed and nutritional supplements comprising an algal biomass or supernatant derived from at least one species of algae are described. Methods of maintaining general health or promoting a healthy immune system in humans and non-human animals comprises administering to the animal in need thereof an algal biomass or supernatant derived from at least one species of algae, or an extract, derivative or homeopathic compound derived from the algae species, biomass or supernatant, or a composition thereof.
