An Assessment of Selected Nutritional, Bioactive, Thermal and Technological Properties of Brown and Red Irish Seaweed Species

Irish edible brown (<i>Himanthalia elongata</i>—sea spaghetti, <i>Alaria esculenta</i>—Irish wakame) and red seaweeds (<i>Palmaria palmata</i>—dulse, <i>Porphyra umbilicalis</i>—nori) were assessed for nutritional (proximate composition; salt; pH; amin...

An Assessment of Selected Nutritional, Bioactive, Thermal and Technological Properties of Brown and Red Irish Seaweed Species

Red seaweeds had higher (<i>p</i> < 0.05) protein levels, whereas brown seaweeds possessed higher (<i>p</i> < 0.05) moisture, ash, insoluble and total dietary fibre contents. Nori had the lowest (<i>p</i> < 0.05) salt level. Seaweed fat levels ranged from 1 to 2% DW. Aspartic and glutamic acids were the most abundant amino acids.
