Applications of Seaweeds in Food and Nutrition 1st Edition

Applications of Seaweeds in Food and Nutrition 1st Edition by Daniel Ingo Hefft offers a compelling, timely guide to the culinary and nutritional potential of marine algae. Perfect for food scientists, chefs, nutritionists, policy makers and sustainability-minded professionals, this book turns the rich biology of seaweeds into practical, evidence-based strategies for modern food systems.

Explore clear, well-researched chapters that examine biochemical composition, functional ingredients, processing techniques, safety and regulatory considerations, and real-world product development. Hefft translates complex science into actionable insights—how algal polysaccharides improve texture, which species deliver targeted micronutrients, and how processing preserves bioactive compounds for fortified and functional foods. Case studies from coastal regions across Asia, Europe, the Americas and beyond highlight scalable approaches for aquaculture, wild-harvest supply chains and local food economies.

This edition emphasizes sustainability and innovation: integrating seaweeds into diets, reducing carbon and resource footprints, and unlocking commercial opportunities in snacks, beverages, supplements and culinary arts. Readers gain practical tools—selection criteria, formulation tips, and risk-management advice—backed by contemporary research and industry examples.
