Ethnobotany of seaweeds: clues to uses of seaweeds
Hydrobiologia, 1996Extensive uses of fresh and dried seaweeds by coastal populations over the world can furnish clues to potential food and other uses of seaweeds, just as the first ‘extraction’ of a seaweed ‘gelatin’ now used for bacteriological purposes was discovered by a housewife in search of a pudding.

Optimization of Metal Adsorption by Seaweeds and Seaweed Derivatives
Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 1997The biosorption of heavy metal ions by low cost, or even waste, materials has shown much potential in the light of environmental legislation and concern over the cumulative toxicity of these pollutants in the aquatic environment. The low cost and availability of seaweeds has prompted research into their use in biosorption studies. Results of the uptake

Seaweed allelopathy to corals: are active compounds on, or in, seaweeds?
Coral Reefs, 2016Numerous seaweeds produce secondary metabolites that are allelopathic to corals. To date, most of the compounds identified in this interaction are lipid-soluble instead of water-soluble. Thus, understanding whether these compounds are stored internally where they would not contact corals, or occur on external surfaces where they could be transferred to

Seaweed Lipids as Nutraceuticals
2011Seaweeds are known as low-energy food. Despite low lipid content, ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) introduce a significant part of seaweed lipids. PUFAs are the important components of all cell membranes and precursors of eicosanoids that are essential bioregulators of many cellular processes.

Anticancer activity of seaweeds
Drug Discovery Today, 2018Cancer is a major health problem worldwide and still lacks fully effective treatments. Therefore, alternative therapies, using natural products, have been proposed. Marine algae are an important component of the marine environment, with high biodiversity, and contain a huge number of functional compounds, including terpenes, polyphenols, phlorotannins,

Seaweed Minerals as Nutraceuticals
2011Seaweed is known as an abundant source of minerals. Mineral composition of seaweed is very changeable because of many exogenous and endogenous factors and differs also within the same species. Principally, seaweed is an excellent source of some essential elements. Mainly, iron and iodine are in high concentration.

Chemosphere, 2017
The concentration levels of 20 metals were analyzed by ICP-OES in edible seaweed (Chondrus, Eisenia, Gelidium, Himanthalia, Laminaria, Palmaria, Porphyra, Undaria), from two origins (Asia vs EU) according to their cultivation practices (conventional vs organic). Red seaweed showed higher concentrations of trace and toxic elements.
