Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Ulvan-Based Nanofibrous Patches Enhance Wound Healing of Skin Trauma Resulting from Cryosurgical Treatment of Keloids

Marine Drugs, 2022
Keloids are skin fibroproliferative disorders, resulting from abnormal healing of deep cutaneous injuries. Cryosurgery, the most common treatment for keloids, causes skin traumas.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) kelt rheotaxis and position choice are influenced by flow velocity and turbulence in a regulated river

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The migratory behaviour of Atlantic salmon kelts is poorly understood. Due to the Atlantic salmon's considerable socio‐economic and ecological importance, their precipitous population abundance declines, and the population resilience potential of salmon kelts, addressing these knowledge gaps is important.

Hydrothermal Extraction of Ulvans from Ulva Sp in a Biorefinery Approach

Science of The Total Environment
A simple cascade process based on the hydrothermal fractionation of Ulva spp. biomass was proposed. Considering the overall extraction yields (50 %), ulvan recovery (23 %), and ulvan composition, structural, mechanical and cytotoxic properties, the selected optimal final heating temperature was 160 °C.

Effects of biosecure macroalgae in formulated feeds on the gut bacterial microbiome of abalone Haliotis midae

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Dietary macroalgae are known to contribute directly and indirectly to the gut microflora of abalone. However, certain farms require macroalgae to be made biosecure to eliminate microbiota and reduce their risk of acting as a vector for potential disease before being included as a dietary ingredient in aquafeeds.
