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 1: Industrial Perspectives offers a complete
overview of seaweeds from their cultivation and processing steps to
their bioactive compounds and Industrial applications, while also
providing the foundational information needed to understand these
plants holistically. Chapters in this volume focus on seaweeds
bioresources, ecology and biology, composition and cultivation,
plus usage of seaweeds extracts for the feed industry. An entire
section is dedicated to waste water treatment, bioremediation,
biofuel and biofertilizer application of seaweeds. For any
researcher in need of a comprehensive and up-to-date single source
on seaweeds cultivation, this volume provides all the information
necessary to gain a thorough understanding of this ever-important
product.
