Chemical composition, antioxidant activity and sensory evaluation of five different species of brown edible seaweeds
Open accessAbstract
The chemical and volatile composition as well as sensory profile of five brown edible seaweeds collected in the United Kingdom, was evaluated. The ash content was 190–280mg/g, NaCl 35.1–115.1mg/g, protein 2.9–6.0g/g, and fat 0.6–5.8g/g (dry basis). Fucus vesiculosus, Fucus spiralis and Ascophyllum nodosum showed higher antioxidant activities (DPPH and FRAP). Nucleotide concentrations were of the same order of magnitude as reported in other foods such as tomatoes or potatoes, except for F. vesiculosus where levels of nucleotides were 10 times higher. The fatty acids profile was dominated by oleic acid (21.9–41.45%), followed by myristic (6.63–26.75%) and palmitic (9.23–16.91%). Glutamic and aspartic acids (0.15–1.8mg/g and 0.05–3.1mg/g) were the most abundant amino acids. Finally, sensory and volatile analyses illustrated that Laminaria sp. had the strongest seaweed and seafood-like aroma and taste.

“From a nutritional viewpoint, seaweeds are an alternative sources of proteins, certain brown species presenting much more protein content than other vegetarian sources, such as soy beans [95].”

In the citing paper
“In the same way, their lipid content includes a concentration of fatty acids within 1 and 6 g/100 g of dry weight. In addition, it should be noted that some species have high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely eicosapentaenoic acid (up to 24%) [95].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
