Valorising Seaweed By-Products is a book that has been divided into 9 chapters, including information on the recovery of highly valuable compounds for microalgae. The authors of this volume discuss seaweed as a renewable and globally available feedstock with potential applications in the food and feed industries, as well as the agricultural, chemical, or pharmaceutical fields. The chapters include discussions on a wide range of topics including an overview of seaweed by-products, Algae and microalgae biorefineries, the potential use of seaweed by-products in various products and materials, color stability, and pigment contents of powdered laver (Pyropia yezoensis).

The text also includes the interactions of the algae Sargassum muticum with metals as a starting point for the valorisation of invasive seaweed species, as well as new insights into the nutrition and functionality of seaweed. Microalgae biomass as an ingredient to design added value in food products, as well as seaweed biomass for bioremediation or Ethanol creation are additional topics.

Index


Additional Information

The book is intended to contribute the improvement understanding of the valorization of underused marine resources through the macroalgae characterization and performance in numerous application fields from the food to the non-food industries. Then, people related to the seaweeds extracts, especially bioactive or gelling biopolymer-based fractions could be interested in the book. Those researches who work on the revalorization of new materials, from food to non-food applications (biomedicine, pharmaceutical, automotive, among others).
