1. Determination of carrageenan in jellies with new methylene blue dye using spectrophotometry, smartphone-based colorimetry and spectrophotometric titration
Abstract Carrageenan is a seaweed polysaccharide widely used as a food gelling and thickening agent. The New Methylene Blue dye was tested as an analytical reagent for the quantification of carrageenan in commercial jelly samples. The main spectral peaks of the dye decrease with increasing carrageenan-to-dye molar ratio up to 1. Three analytical procedures w

2. Seed priming with seaweed extract mitigate heat stress in spinach: effect on germination, seedling growth and antioxidant capacity
ABSTRACT Spinach seeds are sensitive to high temperatures during germination and plant growth. It is known that seed priming with water or with seaweed extract (SWE) may enhance germination and seedling growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of seed priming with SWE (Ascophyllum nodosum) on the germination, seedling growth and antiox

3. EFFECTS OF THE DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION WITH A MICROALGA EXTRACT ON BROILER PERFORMANCE AND FATTY-ACID MEAT PROFILE
ABSTRACT The present study was carried out in the poultry sector of UNOESC Xanxerê to evaluate the effect of various inclusion levels of seaweed (Schizotrichium ssp.) in the diet of broiler chickens in terms of performance, carcass yield, organ profiles and fatty acids levels in meat. We studied 480 one-day-old Cobb chicks, distributed in a completely rando

4. Growth and Immune Response of Pangasius hypophthalmus Fed Diets Containing Seaweed Extracts as Immunostimulant
Abstract Growth and immune response of Pangasius hypophthalmus were evaluated after feeding the fish with diets containing hot-water extracts (HWE) of Sargassum oligocystum as immunostimulant at 100, 300, and 500 mg kg-1 diet. Basal diet for P. hypophthalmus served as the control. The experimental diets were administered for 12 weeks. At the end of the feedi

7. Co-Supplementation of Dietary Seaweed Powder and Antibacterial Peptides Improves Broiler Growth Performance and Immune Function
ABSTRACT The feasibility of Laminaria japonica powder (LJP) combined with cecropin as a dietary supplement to enhance broiler growth performance and immune function was evaluated in this study. In total, 648 one-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly distributed into nine numerically-equal treatment groups: T1 (control group; fed a basal diet); T2

8. Metal Contents and Pb Isotopes in the Surface Seawater of the Gulf of Prigi, Indonesia: Detection of Anthropogenic and Natural Sources
In order to investigate the anthropogenic and natural sources of metals in the Gulf of Prigi, Indonesia, it was analyzed their metal contents and Pb isotopes of surface seawater together with sediment, grouper fish, mosh, seaweed, soil, and sharp grass for protecting the environmental pollution of the study area. Samples were leached using a microwave digest

9. Potency of nano-antibacterial formulation from Sargassum binderi against selected human pathogenic bacteria
Seaweeds constitutes an abundant marine reserve that can be harnessed as source of new pharmaceutical agents. Sargassum binderi Sonder ex J. Agardh is a brown seaweed that is predominantly available from December to March in the Red Sea, Jazan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In this study, three extracts were isolated using three different techniques, and we

11. Effects of salinity on the physiology of the red macroalga, Acanthophora spicifera (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales)
ABSTRACT Salinity is an important abiotic factor since it is responsible for the local and/or regional distribution of algae. In coastal regions, salinity changes with prevailing winds, precipitation and tide, and particularly in extreme intertidal conditions. Acanthophora spicifera is a red seaweed that occurs in the supratidal region in which changes in ab

12. Characterization and bioactivities of a novel polysaccharide obtained from Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis
ABSTRACT Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis is a type of red alga that contains seaweed polysaccharide agar. In this study, a novel non-agar seaweed polysaccharide fraction named GCP (short of crude polysaccharide obtained from Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis) was isolated from Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis. Structural analysis showed that GCP shows triple helical cha
