• A cascade biorefinery process for Sargassum muticum ( Sm ) was proposed. Dried sap (2% of raw material) enriched in K and stimulated stem root growth. Similar alginate, phenolics fucoidan yields properties to those from unpressed Sm. Methane production autohydrolysis solids increased by 55-76% compared the use The at a maximum 150 °C optimal different products. Marine macroalgae represent an ...

Pelagic Sargassum is a buoyant macroalgae that forms rafts at the ocean surface and serves as biologically rich habitat for hundreds of diverse marine species. Since 2011, massive blooms have occurred in tropical Atlantic swept through western Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, Gulf Mexico. These recurring annual events caused significant disruptions to coastal communities throughout region, negatively i...
