Abstract:Ultrasound-assisted extraction and enzyme-assisted extraction are two methods that can be employed to recover valuable compounds from seaweeds at milder operating conditions than conventional chemical extraction methods. The aim of the study was to determine whether pH, enzyme addition and extraction temperature significantly impacted extraction of alginate from Ecklonia maxima in the presence of ultrasonication and to model extraction kinetics. Firstly, a 23 factorial experimental design was employed at const… Show more
