“…Green macroalgae, or Chlorophyta, are prevalent in coastal waters and exhibit a greenish tint due to the significant content of chlorophylls a and b [17]. With cellulose, starch, and polysaccharides in abundance, green macroalgae emerge as a promising raw material for bioplastic production [17,106,107].…”

The surge in global utilization of petroleum-based plastics, which notably heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic, has substantially increased its harm to ecosystems. Considering the escalating environmental impact, a pivotal shift towards bioplastics usage is imperative. Exploring and implementing bioplastics as a viable alternative could mitigate the ecological burden posed by traditional plastics. Macroalgae is a potential feedstock for the production of bioplastics due to its abundance, fast growth, and high cellulose and sugar content. Researchers have recently explored various methods for extracting and converting macroalgae into bioplastic. Some of the key challenges in the production of macroalgae bioplastics are the high costs of large-scale production and the need to optimize the extraction and conversion processes to obtain high-quality bioplastics. However, the potential benefits of using macroalgae for bioplastic production include reducing plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions, using healthier materials in various life practices, and developing a promising area for future research and development. Also, bioplastic provides job opportunities in free enterprise and contributes to various applications such as packaging, medical devices, electronics, textiles, and cosmetics. The presented review aims to discuss the problem of petroleum-based plastic, bioplastic extraction from macroalgae, bioplastic properties, biodegradability, its various applications, and its production challenges.

“…Di Indonesia, potensi alga sebagai sumber makanan (khususnya rumput laut) telah dimanfaatkan secara komersial dan intensif melalui budi daya. Beberapa jenis alga telah digunakan sebagai bahan makanan karena mengandung beberapa protein, mineral, karbohidrat, dan vitamin (Litaay et al, 2021). Kelompok Rhodophyta yaitu Gracilaria dan Hypnea memiliki potensi yang besar dalam industri pangan.…”

Rumput laut merupakan sumber daya laut yang memiliki keragaman dan kaya akan nutrisi. Rumput laut sering dimanfaatkan untuk berbagai keperluan industri, baik industri pangan maupun non-pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi sumberdaya hayati rumput laut di perairan pantai Ambon. Metode penelitian ini adalah metode transek kuadrat. Pada setiap interval 10 meter dari garis pantai dilakukan sampling biomassa makroalga pada bingkai besi berukuran 50 x 50 m. Data dianalisis berdasarkan indeks ekologi yaitu komposisi jenis dan frekuensi kehadiran, selain itu potensi rumput laut sebagai bahan makanan. Rumput laut yang teridentifikasi sebanyak 23 jenis rumput laut yang tergolong dalam kelompok Rhodophyta, Phaeophyta, dan Chlorophyta. Perairan pantai Tawiri memiliki jenis rumput laut tertinggi sebesar 39%. Komposisi rumput laut tertinggi di Pantai Tawiri yaitu 14 jenis dari 10 marga yang terdiri dari 6 jenis Rhodophyceae, 4 jenis Chlorophyceae, dan 4 jenis Phaeophyceae. Frekuensi kehadiran rumput laut tertinggi di perairan pantai Tapi sebesar 12,5%. Jenis rumput laut yang memiliki potensi dimanfaatkan sebagai pangan adalah Rhodophyceae (Gracilaria, Hypnea), Phaeophyceae (Sargassum, Turbinaria, Padina), Chlorophyceae (Halimeda dan Ulva). Rumput laut selain sebagai sumber pangan komersial juga dikembangkan sebagai bahan baku industri.

Macroalgae is very important in maintaining the balance of coastal ecosystems and as a producer in the food chain. Besides having a high ecological value, macroalgae are also very important economically. This study aimed to determine the species composition, diversity, and benefits of macroalgae in Ambon Island. Macroalgae sampling was carried out at intervals of 10 m from the shoreline with 50 cm×50 cm quadrat randomly. The identified macroalgae were 23 species from Rhodophyceae, Phaeophyceae, and Chlorophyceae, with a high species composition of 61% (station 1). Rhodophyta macroalgae species had a high diversity of 39% compared to Phaeophyta and Chlorophyta. The most dominant macroalgae was Ulva fasciata, genus Chlorophyta (22.02%). Station 1 had a higher concentration of phosphate nutrients compared to other stations. Macroalgae have important economic value as functional foods such as Gracilaria, Ulva, Sargassum, and Turbinaria. Macroalgae biodiversity has provided economic benefits as a functional food to increase food security.
