Seaweed Superfoods: Bioactive Nutraceuticals for Coeliac Disease, Diabetes and Hyperglycemia Support

“…The addition of proteins from different sources, such as animal, vegetable and soya products are widely used in products with a low content of these compounds, however, it becomes an expensive process and there are relationships between the consumption of this type of proteins and certain intestinal diseases [20]. Thus, macroalgae can be a substitute for these sources because such proteins are also found in the composition of these living beings, such as the macroalgae Saccorhiza polyschides (Ochrophyta, Phaeophyceae) (Figure 2a) (14%) and species of the genus Gracilaria (Rhodophyta) (Figure 2b) [50,51]. Edible seaweed is considered a nutraceutical food, as it has higher protein values than pulses and soya and is therefore increasingly common.…”

“…Saccorhiza polyschides, initially classified as Fucus polyschides, is considered an edible species and has therefore been studied for future nutraceutical applications [95]. Is a brown alga (Phaeophyceae), belonging to the family Phyllariaceae, and the class Phaeophyceae [50,96]. This alga is opportunistic and is most abundant in southern Europe, where it colonizes rocky substrates in the sublittoral [50].…”

“…Its sporophyte is pale dark brown, with differentiated blades and a twisted base, and the attachment zone is composed of a rough "bulb". It is a monocarpic and annual alga, but it is fast growing and can reach between 2 and 4 meters in length in just 2 months [50,96]. It is a species that contains a high percentage of carbohydrates (45.6%), protein (14.4%), low levels of lipids (1.1%) and a concentration of minerals higher than that found in terrestrial plants.…”

“…It is a species that contains a high percentage of carbohydrates (45.6%), protein (14.4%), low levels of lipids (1.1%) and a concentration of minerals higher than that found in terrestrial plants. Due to its ability to adapt to environmental changes, such as salinity and temperature, it contains [95] bioactive compounds synthesized in the presence of these types of changes [50].…”
