Abstract:Seaweeds must be stabilised shortly after harvesting to avoid rapid deterioration. To handle large amounts harvested during a short period, freezing and frozen storage until utilisation or further processing is one of the methods used industrially. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different freezing and thawing procedures on Alaria esculenta by analysis of the chemical composition of the seaweed and the drip loss expelled during thawing. Thawing of industrially frozen A. esculenta resulted in… Show more
