Seaweed for climate mitigation, wastewater treatment, bioenergy, bioplastic, biochar, food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 21(1), P. 97 - 152

Published: Oct. 8, 2022

Abstract The development and recycling of biomass production can partly solve issues energy, climate change, population growth, food feed shortages, environmental pollution. For instance, the use seaweeds as feedstocks reduce our reliance on fossil fuel resources, ensure synthesis cost-effective eco-friendly products biofuels, develop sustainable biorefinery processes. Nonetheless, in several biorefineries is still infancy stage compared to terrestrial plants-based lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, here we review seaweed with focus production, economical benefits, feedstock for anaerobic digestion, biochar, bioplastics, crop health, food, livestock feed, pharmaceuticals cosmetics. Globally, could sequester between 61 268 megatonnes carbon per year, an average 173 megatonnes. Nearly 90% sequestered by exporting deep water, while remaining 10% buried coastal sediments. 500 gigatonnes replace nearly 40% current soy protein production. Seaweeds contain valuable bioactive molecules that be applied antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulants, other cosmetics skincare products.

Seaweeds Compounds: An Ecosustainable Source of Cosmetic Ingredients?

Cosmetics, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 8(1), P. 8 - 8

Published: Jan. 15, 2021

Seaweed-based cosmetics are being gradually used by consumers as a substitute of synthetic equivalent products. These seaweed-based products normally contain purified compounds or extracts with several compounds. Several seaweeds’ molecules already demonstrated high potential cosmetic active ingredient (such as, mycosporine-like amino acids, fucoidan, pigments, phenolic compounds) key element for the consistency (agar, alginate, carrageenan). Moreover, present important qualities application, such low cytotoxicity and allergens content. However, biochemical profile can be variable, extraction methods cause loss some biomolecules. This review gives general look at seaweed benefits its current application in industry. it focuses on ecological sustainable scope exploitation to guarantee safe source ingredients industry consumers.

Marine Natural Products as Innovative Cosmetic Ingredients

Marine Drugs, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 21(3), P. 170 - 170

Published: March 8, 2023

Over the course of last 20 years, numerous studies have identified benefits an array marine natural ingredients for cosmetic purposes, as they present unique characteristics not found in terrestrial organisms. Consequently, several marine-based and bioactive compounds are under development, used or considered skin care cosmetics. Despite multitude cosmetics based on sources, only a small proportion their full potential has been exploited. Many industries turned attention to sea obtain innovative marine-derived cosmetics, but further research is needed determine elucidate benefits. This review gathers information main biological targets ingredients, different classes products interest applications, organisms from which such can be sourced. Although phyla varied bioactivities, algae phylum seems most promising presenting many classes. In fact, some these higher bioactivities than commercialized counterparts, demonstrating presented by applications (i.e., Mycosporine-like amino acids terpenoids' antioxidant activity). also summarizes major challenges opportunities faced successfully reach market. As future perspective, we consider that fruitful cooperation among academics could lead more sustainable market through responsible sourcing implementing ecological manufacturing processes, experimenting with inventive recycling reuse programs.
