Health Benefits of Polysaccharides in Red Algae: A Comprehensive Review
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.Graphical abstract showing the health benefits of red algal polysaccharides. ABSTRACT Humans have long consumed red algae (especially by the Asian community), and their polysaccharide extracts (carrageenan, agar) are extensively used in the food industry as gel thickeners.

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.Specific MAC bioactivities are associated with gut biotransformation. ABSTRACT Increasing the intake of microbiota‐accessible carbohydrates (MACs) has emerged as a promising nutritional strategy for preventing metabolic diseases. However, the consistency of their beneficial effects remains unclear, hindering their optimized application.

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 37-46, March 2026.Abstract This study explores the potential of replacing gelatin with vegan hydrocolloids as gelling agents in gummies. The goal was to create a gelatin‐free, vegan gummy using natural plant‐based hydrocolloids such as agar–agar and guar gum, which provide a chewy texture similar to gelatin.

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.Porphyridium purpureum polysaccharides are established hydrocolloids among several microalgal biomolecules, however they only exhibit higher viscosity without gelling capacity. Therefore, this study chose to employ alkali pretreatment to Porphyridium purpureum to investigate whether controlled chemical modification could alter the molecular structure ...
