Algae Products Market Report Analysis:
Algae Food Products as a Healthcare Solution
For instance, according to the research report published by MDPI, in September 2023, Macroalgae are one of the most promising sources of sustainable food raw materials. They can grow rapidly in water, which simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production costs. Although macroalgae have been used for millennia in Eastern countries such as China, Japan and Korea as raw or processed food, their introduction as a food source in Western society occurred only a few decades ago, when health was declining and food-related diseases were on the rise.
To combat this dietary deficiency, algae play an important role as they are rich in bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides (e.g., alginate, fucoidan, agar and carrageenan); proteins such as phycobiliproteins; carotenoids (beta-carotene and fucoxanthin); phenolic compounds (phlorotannins); vitamins and minerals, which have also been studied against diseases such as hyperglycemia, diabetes, obesity, metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.
