“…Seaweeds are a source of lysine, an essential amino acid often present in low quantities in terrestrial plant-protein sources, and in contrast to animal-protein sources, are not associated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, and so have been highly recommend for a healthy and balance diet [ 38 ]. Furthermore, species such as Ulva and Caulerpa contain high levels of arginine and glycine, in addition to histidine and taurine which present important activities for fetus development [ 40 ].…”

Seaweeds are a renewable natural source of valuable macro and micronutrients that have attracted the attention of the scientists in the last years. Their medicinal properties were already recognized in the ancient traditional Chinese medicine, but only recently there has been a considerable increase in the study of these organisms in attempts to demonstrate their health benefits. The extraction process and conditions to be used for the obtention of value-added compounds from seaweeds depends mainly on the desired final product. Thermochemical conversion of seaweeds, using high temperatures and solvents (including water), to obtain high-value products with more potential applications continues to be an industrial practice, frequently with adverse impact on the environment and products’ functionality. However more recently, alternative methods and approaches have been suggested, searching not only to improve the process performance, but also to be less harmful for the environment. A biorefinery approach display a valuable idea of solving economic and environmental drawbacks, enabling less residues production close to the much recommended zero waste system. The aim of this work is to report about the new developed methods of seaweeds extractions and the potential application of the components extracted.

“…The essential amino acids, namely leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine and valine, content were 0.2, 0.5, 0.4, 0.2 and 1.3 mg/g protein, respectively (Tanna, Brahmbhatt, & Mishra, 2019). Not to mention, the histidine and taurine content in Ulva and Caulerpa also play a vital role in fetus development (Ganesan et al, 2020). In contrast, U. pertusa accommodated a remarkable amount of both essential and non-essential amino acids, which were arginine and glycine (Ganesan et al, 2020).…”

“…On top of that, Chlorophyta sp. was reported to be rich in essential (arginine) and non-essential amino acids (glycine, alanine and glutamic acid) (Ganesan et al, 2020). Caulerpa was also recorded to afford the highest amounts of essential and non-essential amino acids among the other green seaweeds.…”

Seaweeds are valuable marine plants that have garnered much attention from the public due to their high bioactive, nutrients and minerals content. Seaweeds have been used in multiple applications, including in cosmeceutical, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Nevertheless, this review will focus on the bioactive compounds of Chlorophyta and their potential application in nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries. Chlorophyta are believed to possess a significant amount of nutrients and minerals, sufficient to meet the daily requirements of nutrients and minerals in the human body. Considering the nutritional aspect, deficiency in nutrients may lead to severe ailments, including heart disease, neurological disorder and cancer. The main compounds studied in this review are polysaccharides, proteins, amino acids, lipids, fatty acids, pigments, minerals, vitamins and secondary metabolites. Among all, polysaccharides are the most exploited compounds and used in many advanced applications in the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries. This review also offers insights into the beneficial biological properties of Chlorophyta, highlighting their potential in cosmeceutical and nutraceutical applications. Further research is required to highlight the Chlorophyta sp. aquaculture, its extraction method, and the most targeted bioactive compounds from the species. Therefore, the challenge is to increase public awareness of the promising application of this species in the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries.

“…However, it is necessary to consider that seaweed biochemical profiles differ according to species, geographical location, tidal exposure, season, physico-chemical composition of the water, or even with the seaweed processing techniques [17,[61][62][63] . Nevertheless, they are considered a nutraceutical and valuable resource due to their richness in proteins, minerals, vitamins, polysaccharides, pigments, and phenols [64][65][66] .…”

Seaweeds have been a food source since ancient times (600 BC) and are still widely used in Asia, mainly in traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese folk medicine. Nowadays, seaweed compounds and extracts have been gaining interest from the biomedical and pharmaceutical market sectors. Seaweeds have been referenced as feasible solutions in finding new potential compounds and therapies in prevention, control, and reduction of cancer development due to the multirole of some bioactive components (e.g, phenolic compounds and sulphated polysaccharides). Moreover, seaweeds are rich in important health-promoting molecules [such as poly and highly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs and HUFAs), essential amino acids, vitamins, and dietary fibers] and minerals (calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and fluoride). In this review, the potential therapeutic effects of seaweed in the prevention and treatment of cancer are approached, as well as nutraceutical properties of seaweed to promote cell homeostasis.
