  • cultivation of a morphologically distinct strain of the sugar kelp saccharina latissima forma angustissima from coastal maine usa with implications for ecosystem services
    Journal of Applied Phycology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Simona Augyte, Charles Yarish, Sarah Redmond, Jang K Kim
    Abstract:

    Consumer interest and demand for North Atlantic sourced Sea Vegetables drives opportunities for aquaculture development in the northeast USA. The unique morphology and desirable culinary traits of the wild narrow-bladed kelp, Saccharina latissima forma angustissima, were successfully translated into a cultivated crop on two geographically distinct open-water farms in Maine, USA. Environmental conditions, growth, and tissue analysis were quantified. Peak meristematic growth rates for blade length occurred from March through April at 2.85 (±0.34) cm day−1. The kelp was harvested from May through June with yields of up to 17 (±4.4) kg m−1 of line and plant density of 330 plants m−1 of line at the Bristol farm and yields of 13.3 (±6.2) kg wet weight m−1 line and a plant density of 400 plants m−1 of line at the Sorrento farm. Second Season yields at Sorrento were on average 24.1 (±6.3) kg m−1 of line. Both farms grew significantly narrower blades of f. angustissima than of the sugar kelp, S. latissima. Common garden experiments with the two morphotypes identified trait stability for length and width, while blade ruffles and thickness varied with the environment. Calculations estimating the nutrient bioextraction capability of the cultivated f. angustissima kelp harvested in June reveal N removal of 88.7 kg ha−1 and C removal of 1666.7 kg ha−1 (combined farm site averages). Overall, this unique kelp form has the potential as a new aquaculture crop for the Gulf of Maine while providing several coastal ecosystem services.

  • medicinal benefits of sulfated polysaccharides from Sea Vegetables
    Advances in food and nutrition research, 2011
    Co-Authors: Sekwon Kim, Yongxin Li
    Abstract:

    The cell walls of Sea Vegetables or marine algae are rich in sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) such as fucoidans in brown algae, carrageenans in red algae, and ulvans in green algae. These SPs exhibit various biological activities such as anticoagulant, antiviral, antioxidative, and anticancer activities with potential health benefits. Therefore, SPs derived from Sea Vegetables have great potential in further development as nutraceuticals and medicinal foods. This chapter presents an overview of biological activities and potential medicinal benefits of SPs derived from Sea Vegetables.

  • health benefit of fucosterol from marine algae a review
    Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2016
    Co-Authors: Qudeer Ahmed Abdul, Ran Joo Choi, Hyun Ah Jung, Jae Sue Choi
    Abstract:

    Seaweeds belong to a group of marine plants known as algae, which are consumed as Sea Vegetables in several Asian countries. Recent studies have focused on the biological and pharmacological activities of Seaweeds and their highly bioactive secondary metabolites because of their potential in the development of new pharmaceutical agents. Although several varieties of bioactive novel compounds such as phlorotannins, diterpenes and polysaccharides from Seaweeds have already been well scrutinized, fucosterol as a phytosterol still needs to reinvent itself. Fucosterol (24-ethylidene cholesterol) is a sterol that can be isolated from algae, Seaweed and diatoms. Fucosterol exhibits various biological therapeutics, including anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antihyperlipidemic, antifungal, antihistaminic, anticholinergic, antiadipogenic, antiphotodamaging, anti-osteoporotic, blood cholesterol reducing, blood vessel thrombosis preventive and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. In this review, we address some potential approaches for arbitrating novel fucosterol biologics in the medical field, focusing on the selection of personalized drug candidates and highlighting the challenges and opportunities regarding medical breakthroughs. We also highlight recent advances made in the design of this novel compound, as the significant health benefits from using these optimized applications apply to the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields.
