Abstract
Seaweeds are a valuable component of marine biological resources, with numerous species and high economic value. Red algae, an important taxonomic group of seaweed, consist of approximately 6000. In addition to wild red algae, several species of red algae with significant economic value are cultivated to varying degrees across the globe. Red algae are rich in bioactive compounds, including carrageenan, phycoerythrin, polyunsaturated fatty acids, catechol, and niacinamide. These compounds have demonstrated antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and immunomodulatory properties. Various extraction methods, such as solid liquid extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction, have been employed to isolate these compounds. The objective of this review is to summarize the bioactive compounds found in red algae and the techniques utilized for their extraction. The information provided will serve as a reference for future applications in this field.
期刊介绍:
Algal Research is an international phycology journal covering all areas of emerging technologies in algae biology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, bioproducts, biorefinery, engineering, and econometrics. Algae is defined to include cyanobacteria, microalgae, and protists and symbionts of interest in biotechnology. The journal publishes original research and reviews for the following scope: algal biology, including but not exclusive to: phylogeny, biodiversity, molecular traits, metabolic regulation, and genetic engineering, algal cultivation, e.g. phototrophic systems, heterotrophic systems, and mixotrophic systems, algal harvesting and extraction systems, biotechnology to convert algal biomass and components into biofuels and bioproducts, e.g., nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, plastics, etc. algal products and their economic assessment
