The trend toward sustainable and healthy food consumption has stimulated widespread debate. US consumers demand healthy and sustainable food options and are increasingly interested in alternative proteins such as macro-algae, also known as sea-vegetables. The present study is built on the responses of an online survey aiming to explore US consumers’ commitment towards varying sea-vegetable-based products. Affordability, sustainability, taste, environmental friendliness, and health benefits, as well as product novelty and versatility, were the factors under investigation. All factors were found to be equally strong predictors for sea-vegetable product commitment. Best-practice recommendations for US food marketers and agricultural producers are also provided.

“…10 Seaweeds are primarily consumed in European and Asian countries. 11 Another advantage of seaweed-based biopolymers is their abundance, as they can be cultured under the sea. Therefore, it saves the land for other agricultural purposes and thus can contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in the environment.…”

Poor water and chemical resistance of pure biopolymeric films is a major barrier to their applications in the packaging industry. The present work involves an innovative and novel formulation of biopolymer nanocomposite utilizing a green fabrication process to produce a highly robust, chemically resistant system and printable, flexible polymeric film. This unique concept utilizes the electrostatic interaction between two biopolymeric materials (chitosan and sodium alginate) owing to their inherent functionality, which could be knowingly tuned just by changing the pH of the medium. The films are obtained from a hydrogel prepared by stepwise addition of the components as well as cross-linker in a designed manner. This is for the first time a biological alkaline extract containing carbon dots derived from banana corm (BCE CDs) is used as a cross-linker for biopolymers. In addition, mushroom was used to synthesize a nanofiber and used in the fabrication of nanocomposite film. The synthesis of lignocellulosic nanofibers from mushrooms that avoids the usage of any harmful chemicals in preparing the composite film is demonstrated. Fabricated films show tensile strengths up to ∼59 MPa after optimizing the composition. The film exhibited stability under both acidic and basic pH conditions even after being kept for 24 h. Additionally, it displayed resistance to a broad spectrum of organic solvents. In addition, the films can be used as a substrate for printing technologies, widening the scope of their use in packaging materials. Thus, the work demonstrates the fabrication of green, robust, edible, chemically resistant, and printable biobased nanocomposite flexible films.

“…Thus, a compound that possesses the effect of protecting the body against oxidative stress can be thought of as a potential ingredient for developing a therapeutic agent treatment for liver damage caused by EtOH intake. Seaweeds contain a lot of bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds, carotenoids, fatty acids, dietary fibers, proteins, polysaccharides, and sterols [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. These seaweed-derived compounds possess potent antioxidant activity [24,25].…”

Our previous studies have evaluated the bioactivities of a fucoidan isolated from Sargassum fusiforme (SF-F). To further investigate the health benefit of SF-F, in the present study, the protective effect of SF-F against ethanol (EtOH)-induced oxidative damage has been evaluated in in vitro and in vivo models. SF-F effectively improved the viability of EtOH-treated Chang liver cells by suppressing apoptosis. In addition, the in vivo test results indicate that SF-F significantly and dose-dependently increased the survival rate of zebrafish treated with EtOH. Further research results show that this action works through decreasing cell death via reduced lipid peroxidation by scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species in EtOH-stimulated zebrafish. These results indicate that SF-F effectively protected Chang liver cells and zebrafish against EtOH-induced oxidative damage and suggest the potential of SF-F to be used as an ingredient in the functional food industry.
