ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the effects of Chlorella vulgaris powder on mayonnaise quality and antioxidant capacity. Formulations containing 0–4% (w/w) chlorella were analyzed for pH, Brix, color, viscosity, and cholesterol; antioxidant indices were additionally assessed at 5%. Increasing chlorella levels lowered pH (4.49 to 4.28) and raised Brix (2.08 to 4.30). Viscosity increased from 8.77 to 65.84 cP (~7.5-fold), indicative of enhanced emulsion stability. Color shifted toward a greener hue with reduced lightness and yellowness. Cholesterol showed no consistent reduction. Antioxidant capacity improved dose-dependently: DPPH radical scavenging rose from 6.75% (control) to 15.75% at 4% (~2.3-fold), and total polyphenol content increased from 3.74 to 15.80 mg GAE/g (~4.2-fold). Overall, chlorella powder markedly enhances the antioxidant functionality of mayonnaise, with 2–3% supplementation providing the most favorable balance between physicochemical quality and functional attributes.
