 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 ω–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.Â

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.Â

This two-volume set explores the aspects of diversity of micro and
macro algal forms, their traditional uses; their constituents which
are of value for food, feed, specialty chemicals, bioactive
compounds for several novel applications and bioenergy molecules.
The industrial production systems, downstream processing,
utilization of the biomass and the metabolites of importance for
various applications are addressed. Innovations in production
technologies, coupled with the biological activities of their novel
metabolites and molecules, offer tremendous scope for the
exploitation of these micro and macro algal forms through
industrial production processes in a sustainable manner. These two
volumes offer a treasure house of information to the students and
researchers of plant sciences, biological sciences, agricultural
sciences, foods and nutrition sciences, health sciences and
environmental sciences. Their practical value will benefit
professionals including agriculture and food experts,
biotechnologists, ecologists, environmentalists, and biomass
specialists. This set will also aid industries dealing with foods,
nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals , cosmecuticals health care
products, and bioenergy.
