Abstract：
Duckweed (Lemna minor L.) is a small floating aquatic plant that has an important economic impact in several industrial areas. With its high biomass production, reasonable protein content, and resilience to several climates, it has been attracting increasing interest for potential use in animal and human food systems. Historically consumed in southwest Asia, this duckweed is now gaining attention as a potential novel food in Europe. This manuscript explores the contributions of duckweed to various food and feed industries, including aquaculture and livestock, while also pointing out the incipient research carried out for human consumption. Most importantly, it highlights the potential of Lemna minor as a vegetable for future human consumption whether eaten whole or through extraction of its nutrients.
摘要：
浮萍（LemnaminorL.）是一种小型漂浮水生植物，在多个工业区具有重要的经济影响。由于其高生物量产量，合理的蛋白质含量，以及对几种气候的适应能力，它在动物和人类食物系统中的潜在用途引起了越来越多的兴趣。历史上在亚洲西南部消费，这种浮萍现在在欧洲作为一种潜在的新型食品而受到关注。本手稿探讨了浮萍对各种食品和饲料工业的贡献，包括水产养殖和畜牧业,同时也指出了为人类消费而进行的初期研究。最重要的是,它强调了Lemnaminor作为未来人类食用的蔬菜的潜力，无论是整体食用还是通过提取其营养成分。
