The invention relates to methods for obtaining a
fucoxanthin-
crystal-containing precipitate, in particular
fucoxanthin crystals, in particular
fucoxanthin, and a fatty-acid-containing
lipid fraction, in particular fatty acids, from the
biomass of
algae, in particular methods for the integrated extraction and separation of fucoxanthin and fatty acids from the
biomass of
algae, and to the products obtained from these methods, in particular fucoxanthin crystals and fatty acids.
