Seaweeds or algae are marine autotrophic organisms. They produce nutrients (e.g., proteins, carbohydrates, etc.) essential for the survival of living organisms as they participate in biochemical processes and non-nutritive molecules (such dietary fibers secondary metabolites), which can improve their physiological functions. Seaweed polysaccharides, fatty acids, peptides, terpenoids, pigments, polyphenols have biological properties that be used to develop food supplements nutricosmetic products act antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory compounds. This review examines (primary secondary) metabolites produced by algae, most recent evidence effect on human health conditions, with particular attention what concerns skin hair’s well-being. It also evaluates industrial potential recovering these from biomass clean wastewater. The results demonstrate considered a natural source bioactive well-being formulations. primary metabolites’ upcycling an exciting opportunity safeguard planet (promoting circular economy) and, at same time, obtain low-cost food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical industries low-cost, raw, renewable materials. Today’s lack methodologies large-scale limits practical realization.

The brown marine alga Rugulopteryx okamurae (R. okamurae) has quickly spread through the Mediterranean coasts since it was firstly spotted in area 2015. This alien species already colonized a great part of western and displaced local biota, disrupting natural autochthonous ecosystem. Moreover, related 'green' tides also provoke environmental problems ashore that need to be addressed. Comprehending potential this unwanted biomass could vital importance lessen its ecological impact. In study, R. assessed for as raw material extraction reducing sugars polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant capacities. process evaluated optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) combined modified Box-Behnken design. Initially, 2 key operational factors were identified most influential parameters (i.e. drying temperature milling time). However, type solvent use zeolite included design potentially have significant impact on process. analyzed responses yields total phenolic (TPC) (RS). For TPC based ethanol solvent, 60 °C zeolite-assisted time s, reaching maximum yield 15.33 ggallic acid kg−1. RS water 100 zeolite-absence 50s, 10.42 gglucose

Chlorella vulgaris is of great importance in numerous exploratory or industrial applications (e.g., medicals, food, and feed additives). Rapid quantification algal biomass crucial photobioreactors for the optimization nutrient management estimation production. The main goal this study to provide a simple, rapid, not-resource-intensive method determining density C. according measured parameters using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Comparative assessment measurements were conducted with seven different methods filtration, evaporation, chlorophyll extraction, detection optical fluorescence) determine biomass. By analyzing entire spectra diluted algae samples, optimal wavelengths determined through stepwise series linear regression analyses by novel correlation scanning method, facilitating accurate parameter estimation. Nonlinear formulas spectrometry-based processes derived each parameter. As result, general formula concentration was developed, recommendations suitable measuring devices based on levels. New values magnesium content average single-cell weight established, addition development semiautomated cell counting improving efficiency accuracy cultivation biotechnology applications.
