In present study, methanol extracts of the Chlorophycean group of seaweeds have been tested for their antibacterial activity against oral bacteria causing dental caries. Different concentrations of the extracts of the four species of seaweedsChaetomorpha antennina, Cladophora fascicularis, Spongomorpha indica and Ulva fasciata collected from sea coast of Visakhapatnam have been tested for their...

In drying seaweeds, it is important to describe its behavior using semi-theoretical models. Predicting the best model for seaweed was commonly done by testing goodness of curve models calculating coefficient determination R2, reduced chi square X2, root means error (RMSE) and mean bias (MBE). However, essential rank before selection assessing performance index Φ relative deviation (MRD). It als...

The current study estimated the antioxidant activity and biochemical composition of four seaweeds; Toania atomaria (Phaeophyta), Padina pavonia Jania rubens (Rhodophyta) Corallina elongate (Rhodophyta). highest total was observed with ethanol extract T. (44.6 ± 1.6 mg ascorbic acid equivalents/g crude extract). Among seaweeds, has recorded value in ferric reducing power (FRAP) assay (32.3 0.0 u...

Seaweeds are gaining momentum as novel and functional food feed products. From whole consumption to small bioactive compounds, seaweeds have remarkable flexibility in their applicability, ranging from production fertilizers or usages chemical industries. Regarding production, there is an increasing interest the development of foods that, at same time, present high nutritious content sustainably...

The ecosystem services can be divided using two major classification systems, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) and Common International Classification of Services (CICES). In MEA system, are into four service clusters: supporting, provisioning, regulating, cultural. On other hand, CICES system regards “MEA supporting services” as organism natural function (and not an service). Thus, th...
