Resumo: Chromochloris zofingiensis is known to be able to produce large amounts of astaxanthin and also to coproduce other molecules with antioxidant properties. Outdoor cultivation is the cheapest way for large-scale production; however, the unstable weather conditions can hinder the productivity of the biomass and the target product. The final biomass (0.92 g·L−1) and total carotenoids (0.55 mg·g−1) concentration achieved in outdoor cultivation (i.e., during autumn in Porto, Portugal) had no statistically significant difference compared to control cultivation (i.e., constant temperature, 18 °C, and light intensity, 4000 lx) (1.36 g·L−1 and 0.56 mg·g−1, respectively), however the biomass productivity was about threefold lower. Regarding the antioxidant potential, methanolic extracts from outdoor cultivation presented one of the highest values for radical scavenging ability (44.2 %) and ferrous-ion chelating ability (59.1 %), similarly to the results obtained by ethanolic extracts from indoor cultivation under nitrogen limitation. Highest total antioxidant capacities were observed in ethanolic extracts varying from 120.0 to 185.2 mg GAE·g−1.
