“…Recent studies on the bioactivity of some common species, such as H. elongata and U. pinnatifida , recommend their use in the composition of functional foods, due to the high content of antioxidants and the potential to alleviate the metabolic syndrome [ 75 ]. A wide range of studies reported the high potential of using algae as a source of prebiotics [ 76 ]. Wang et al [ 77 ] proved that rats which had 2.5% alginate supplementation exhibited an increase in Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus .…”

Nowadays, one of the most important research directions that concerns the scientific world is to exploit the earth’s resources in a sustainable way. Considering the increasing interest in finding new sources of bioactive molecules and functional products, many research studies focused their interest on demonstrating the sustainability of exploiting marine macroalgal biomass as feedstock for wastewater treatment and natural fertilizer, conversion into green biofuels, active ingredients in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, or even for the production of functional ingredients and integration in the human food chain. The objective of the present paper was to provide an overview on the recent progress in the exploitation of different macroalgae species as a source of bioactive compounds, mainly emphasizing the latter published data regarding their potential bioactivities, health benefits, and industrial applications.

“…Fermentation of seaweeds also enhances their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties [35]. Because of low digestibility, seaweeds and their bioactive compounds (particularly polysaccharides and phenolics) can be treated as prebiotics [48,73], which are defined as "a non-digestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria, already established in the colon and thus improves host health" [74]. Seaweed components are resistant to digestion by enzymes present in the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria [73].…”

Poultry production is an important area of the agricultural economy. Nowadays, there is an interest in novel sources of feed additives that will improve production performance and poultry health. As an easily available and renewable biomass rich in biologically active compounds, seaweeds can meet this demand. Different forms of seaweeds–seaweed powder from naturally occurring biomass, cultivated or waste biomass, extracted compounds, post-extraction residues or liquid extracts–may be used in poultry feeding. Inclusion of this unconventional material in the poultry nutrition can positively influence the poultry performance along with its health and enrich poultry products with active compounds, such as micro- and macroelements, polyunsaturated fatty acids and pigments. Seaweeds also reduce lipids and cholesterol in eggs. Moreover, due to their unique properties, they can serve as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. This review presents the latest developments in the use of seaweeds in poultry nutrition, as well as its limitations.

Article Highlights• Response surface methodology was applied for optimization of solvent extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction • UAE is an effective method to obtain maximum yield with minimum time and solvent consumption • GC-MS analysis was carried out to identify the bioactive compounds present in the extract obtained from various extraction techniques AbstractIn the present work, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was employed to extract the phenolic compounds from wood apple pulp. A Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the process variables. The results revealed that UAE have significantly higher TPC (17.41±0.13 mg GAE/g dW) and TFC (6.73±0.19 mg RE/g dW) in comparison with solvent extraction that gave noticeably lower TPC (12.01±0.17 mg GAE/g dW) and TFC = 4.47±0.09 mg RE/g dW). Optimally obtained extracts of wood apple pulp were subjected to phytochemical screening and it was found that bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, 2-(1-buten-3-yl)-serverogenin acetate, 4H-pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-, L-(+)--ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, cis-vaccenic acid, thiopene, 2-propyl--phenol, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) and octanoic acid were present only in UAE extracts. Since the bioactive component presence is remarkably higher in UAE compared to other techniques, UAE seems to be a better method for the extraction of phenolic compounds from wood apple pulp.
