Antioxidant Capacity and Polyphenol Content of Brown Seawedds after Heat Processing

Seaweeds or marine macroalgae are renewable living resources which are also used as food, feed and fertilizer in many parts of the world. They are able to produce a great variety of secondary metabolites. Results showed that the heat processing not only enhanced the contents of biologically active compounds in seaweeds but also the biological activity associated with these compounds as compared to the unprocessed seaweeds.
