Marine plant life is an abundant source of nutrients that enhance
the daily diet. In recent years, consuming diets rich in seaweeds
or their extracts have been shown to provide health benefits due to
being rich in macronutrients, micronutrients and nutraceuticals.
The commercial value of seaweeds for human consumption is
increasing annually, and some countries harvest several million
tons annually. The seaweeds industry is valued at around $12
billion in 2017, and supports millions of families worldwide.
Seaweeds production grew globally by 30 million tons in 2016.
Seaweeds have seen increasing usage in the food industry due to
their abundance of beneficial nutrients, vitamins and -3 fatty
acids. To date there have been no books that comprehensively cover
up-to-date information on seaweeds cultivation, processing,
extraction and nutritional properties. This text lays out the
properties and effects of seaweeds from their use as bioresources
to their use in the feed industry to their applications in
wastewater management and biofuels. Sustainable Global Resources of
Seaweeds Volume 2: Industrial Perspectives offers a complete
overview of the application of seaweeds into food, pharmaceuticals
and other health-based applications. The first section focuses on
the various foods derived from seaweeds, including extensive
insight into the beneficial nutrients these plants contain. The
many functional foods derived from sea plants are covered in
detail, including foods from tropical seaweeds, macroalgae,
Monostroma, Caulerpa, Palmaria, Gracillaria, Porphyra, Laminaria,
Fucus, Undaria, and many more. The chapters delve further into the
nutritional makeup of these foods, their health benefits and
chemical makeup. A second section is dedicated to the
pharmaceutical applications of seaweeds and their many health
benefits. With chapters devoted to vitamin sources, health
properties and pharmaceutical applications, this section acts as a
single source for researchers exploring the pharmaceutical
applications and possibilities of seaweeds. Research, development,
and commercial applications are explored, plus a complete picture
of the multitude of health benefits derived from these plentiful
and beneficial plants. For researchers in search of a comprehensive
and up-to-date source on the application of nutrient-rich seaweeds
from across the world into novel foods and pharmaceuticals, look no
further than this volume.
