2. 1. Seaweed in the tropical seascape : Importance, problems and potential

   Author : Stina Tano; Christina Halling; Sofia Wikström; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seaweed; Macroalgae; Eucheumoids; Non-indigenous; Haplotype; Fish; Nursery; Epifauna; Diversity; Seaweed farming; Zanzibar; East Africa; Tropical; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : The increasing demand for seaweed extracts has led to the introduction of non-native seaweeds for farming purposes in many tropical regions. Such intentional introductions can lead to spread of non-native seaweeds from farming areas, which can become established in and alter the dynamics of the recipient ecosystems. READ MORE

4. 2. Seaweed Integrated Mariculture : Prospects and Constraints Towards Increased Sustainability

   Author : Christina Halling; Max Troell; Nils Kautsky; Marc Verdegem; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Integrated aquaculture; Gracilaria chilensis; Seaweed farming; salmon farming; nutrient reduction; dissolved nutrients; Chile; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Abstract : Increased global demand for seafood and stagnating catches from capture fisheries contributed to the doubling of aquaculture production taking place the last decade. Expansion within the aquaculture sector is expected to persist, and by many seen as the only mean to meet future demand for seafood. READ MORE

5. 3. Polysaccharides from red and green seaweed : Extraction, characterisation and applications

   Author : Niklas Wahlström; Ulrica Edlund; Fredrik Gröndahl; Federica Chiellini; KTH; []
   Keywords : biorefinery; seaweed; macroalgae; Ulva; Porphyra; ulvan; porphyran; cellulose; gelatin; hydrogel; heavy metal; methylene blue; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Cultivation of seaweed has been conducted for centuries in Asia, but is largely undeveloped in Sweden even though there is potential for this industry. Seaweed offers benefits compared with land-based biomass cultivation. READ MORE

6. 4. Seaweed as a sustainable source of food protein: maximizing seaweed protein content, protein recovery, and nutritional quality

   Author : João Pedro Trigo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; protein isolation; intestinal permeability; detergent; thermal water treatment; protein shift; wastewater; elemental compositional; macroalgae; gastrointestinal digestion; cultivation;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on utilizing seaweed, such as Saccharina latissima and Ulva fenestrata , as sustainable food protein sources to complement terrestrial protein currently limited by land and water supply. While seaweed holds promise, its protein content is lower than pulses and antinutrients reduce protein nutritional quality. READ MORE

7. 5. Food ingredients from cultivated seaweeds-Improving storage stability and protein recovery

   Author : Hanna Harrysson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; unsaturated fatty acids; macroalgae; alterative cultivation; sequential recovery; pH-shift; ascorbic acid; long-term storage; Seaweed; protein extraction; proteins; lipid oxidation;

   Abstract : There is a global demand for new vegetarian protein sources, and seaweed have for multiple reasons been identified as a promising candidate. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the potential of three different Swedish seaweed species as food protein sources, but also as sources of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
