Open AccessHigh-Voltage Pulsed Electric Fields and pH Shift Process for Protein and Solute Release from Gracilaria sp., Red Edible Seaweed
This study proposes a process based on the application of high-voltage pulsed electric field (PEF) in combination with pH shift for protein and solute release from fresh edible seaweed from Gracilaria sp.. The PE...

Photosynthetic CO2 uptake by Ulva (Chlorophyta) as a potential contribution to global warming containment
The ongoing climate changes have resulted from high levels of anthropogenic CO2 being released into the atmosphere in the past decades. Carbon-cutting measures have been proposed to reduce global warming by 2 °C,...

Open AccessSeasonal variation in the metabolome expression of Jania rubens (Rhodophyta) reveals eicosapentaenoic acid as a potential anticancer metabolite
Seaweeds of the intertidal zone are subjected to diverse stresses due to environmental changes in radiation, salinity, water quality, herbivore communities, etc. Thus, marine seaweeds developed various unique ...

Effect of seasonality on the amino acid and monosaccharide profile from the green seaweed Ulva lactuca cultivated in plastic sleeves onshore (Mikhmoret, Israel)
Assessment of abiotic impact on seaweed chemical composition is required for their use as crops and feedstock for biorefinery. This study investigated how seasonality and the culture age of Ulva lactuca grown in ...

The suitability of Ulva fasciata, Ulva compressa, and Hypnea musciformis for production in an outdoor spray cultivation system, with respect to biomass yield and protein content
Land-based seaweed ponds can produce 500–700 t of fresh weight (FW) ha−1 year−1, but their profitability can be cut by the cost of pond construction, including ground leveling, infrastructure cost, and water agit...

Growth, protein and carbohydrate contents in Ulva rigida and Gracilaria bursa-pastoris integrated with an offshore fish farm
Low-technology practices are generally the rule when cultivating marine macroalgae, and they do not necessarily comply with sustainability requirements. When integrated with other marine organisms in land-base...
