Seaweeds (marine macroalgae) are autotrophic organisms capable of producing many
compounds of interest. For a long time, seaweeds have been seen as a great nutritional …

The hydrocolloids carrageenan and agar are the major fraction industrially extracted and
commercialized from red seaweeds. However, this type of macroalgae also contains a …

The term hydrocolloid generally refers to substances that form gels or provide viscous
dispersion in the presence of water. Alginate, agar, and carrageenan are three commercially …

Red algae (Rhodophyta) are known as the source of unique sulfated galactans, such as
agar, agarose, and carrageenans. The wide practical uses of these polysaccharides are …

The use of ecological engineering tools for the development of a more sustainable
aquaculture is crucial. In this context, seaweed based Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture …

Physico-chemical and gelling properties of agar extracted from Gracilaria tenuistipitata as
affected by alkaline pretreatments using NaOH and KOH at various levels (3–7%, w/v) were …

Agar, a gelatinous polysaccharide in the cell wall of many red algal species, is widely used
as a gelling, thickening and stabilizing agent. The commercial value of seaweed is judged …

Seaweeds are considered an important source of bioactive molecules. In this work the
marine red alga Gracilaria caudata was submitted to aqueous extraction of their …

This study exclusively focused on the potential application of an inexpensive and
sustainable waste macro-algal biomass as an adsorbent for biosorption of copper ions from …

In this study, superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were individually prepared with one
of three polysaccharides as stabilizer, ie soluble starch, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium …
