Detoxification of acidic catalyzed hydrolysate of Kappaphycus alvarezii (cottonii)

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2011
Red seaweed, Kappaphycus alvarezii, holds great promise for use in biofuel production due to its high carbohydrate content. In this study, we investigated the effect of fermentation inhibitors to the K. alvarezii hydrolysate on cell growth and ethanol fermentation.

Kappaphycus alvarezii as a source of bioethanol

Bioresource Technology, 2012
The present study describes production of bio-ethanol from fresh red alga, Kappaphycus alvarezii. It was crushed to expel sap--a biofertilizer--while residual biomass was saccharified at 100 °C in 0.9 N H2SO4. The hydrolysate was repeatedly treated with additional granules to achieve desired reducing sugar concentration.

Osmotic dehydration of Kappaphycus alvarezii

Journal of Applied Phycology, 2013
The red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii has been reported to be a potential raw material for functional food due to its high content of soluble dietary fibre, mineral, omega-3 fatty acids as well as a substantial amount of essential amino acids. In order to benefit from these excellent nutritional properties, this project aimed to develop a high-value ...

Phycoremediation of heavy metals by the three-color forms of Kappaphycus alvarezii

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2007
In the present investigation, three living color forms (brown, green and pale yellow) of Kappaphycus alvarezii were examined for their biosorption ability in the laboratory. The brown color form proved to be an excellent metal biosorbent, i.e. it could adsorb good amount of cadmium 3.064 mg/100 gf.wt. and cobalt 3.365 mg/100 gf.wt.

Mechanical properties of particleboard from seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii)

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018
The global market for wood-based panels annually increases despite of decreasing availability of wood resources have encouraged the use of alternative sources of lignocellulosic materials. In this research, the performance of particleboard manufactured from seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) and urea formaldehyde (UF) resin as binding material was ...

Antiviral Activity of Kappaphycus alvarezii Seaweed against ZIKV

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry
Introduction: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. These viruses can also be transmitted through sexual contact, vertical transmission, and possibly transfusion. Most cases are asymptomatic, but symptoms can include rash, conjunctivitis, fever, and arthralgia, which are characteristic of other ...

Conjugation with Silver Nanoparticles Enhances Anti-Acanthamoebic Activity of Kappaphycus alvarezii

Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Nanomedicine has the potential in enhancing the efficacy and bioavailability of anti-infective agents. Here we determined whether conjugation of the Malaysian cultivated seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii with silver-conjugated nanoparticles enhanced anti-acanthamoebic properties. Silver-conjugated K.

Strain selection in Kappaphycus alvarezii var. alvarezii (Solieriaceae, Rhodophyta) using tetraspore progeny

Journal of Applied Phycology, 1999
A brown strain of Kappaphycus alvarezii from the Philippines produced tetraspores in the summer and autumn (December 1995 to May 1996) in cultivation experiments in the sea at Ubatuba, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. In vitro tetraspore release and germination experiments showed a mass mortality two to four days after release.
