Algae for Food: Cultivation Processing and Nutritional Benefits Algae are a primitive living photosynthetic form and they are the oldest living organism. In the marine ecosystem algae are the primary producers that supply energy required to a diverse marine organism and especially seaweed provides a habitat for invertebrates and fishes. There have been significant advances in many areas of phycology. This book describes the advances related to food and nutrition of algae achieved during the last decades it also identifies gaps in the present knowledge and needs for the future. The 17 chapters grouped into 6 parts are written by phycologists. More insight on industrial exploitation of algae and their products is supported by current studies and will help academia. The first part explains new technologies to improve the microalgal biomass strain improvement and different methods of seaweed cultivation. In the second part food and nutraceutical applications of algae food safety aspects green nanotechnology and formulation methods for the extraction and isolation of algal functional foods are described. The third part deals with pigments and carotenoids while the fourth part exploits the isolation and application of hydrocolloids nutritional implications of algal polysaccharides and the characterization and bioactivity of fucoidans. In the fifth part the biomedical potential of seaweed followed by agricultural applications of algae are well described. The book is an important resource for scholars that provides knowledge on wide range of topics. Key Features Covers important fields of algae from biomass production to genetic engineering aspects of algae Useful in the field of algal biotechnology aquaculture marine micro and macrobiology microbial biotechnology and bioprocess technology Focuses on the therapeutic and nutritional areas of algae | Algae for Food Cultivation Processing and Nutritional Benefits
