The presentation on algae test methods outlines two standardization mandates. The 2017-2020 mandate focuses on sample treatment, lipids analysis, and chlorophyll analysis. The 2020-2024 mandate expands to include fatty acids, carotenoids, and phycobiliproteins. These mandates aim to establish rigorous, standardized testing procedures to ensure the accuracy and consistency of algae-based product assessments, supporting industry growth and regulatory compliance.
