Ulva rigida green seaweed is an abundant biomass consisting of polysaccharides and protein mixtures a potential bioresource for bioplastic food packaging. This research prepared characterized novel biodegradable films from extracts. The water-soluble fraction was extracted into films. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance indicated the presence rhamnose, glucuronic sulfate polysaccharides, while major ...

Ethanolic crude extracts from seven marine algal species belong to Clorophyceae (Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha linza, Ulva rigida), Phaeophyceae (Cystoseira barbata, Padina pavonica) and Rhodophyceae (Corallina officinalis, Ceramium ciliatum) from the coast of Vona, Turkey were evaluated in vitro for the antibacterial and antifungal activity of six bacteria and two fungus with the paper di...

Sea lettuce (Ulva rigida) is an underutilized green macroalga. Scant knowledge and understanding exist regarding the optimal processing technologies to maximize seaweed nutrition. Pretreatment of sea before drying, either by blanching or steaming, induced diverse physical biological property changes. Greenness increased, while lightness the-sea reduced. Both drying processes reduced textural pa...
