The two objectives of this research are to produce plastic that is environmental friendly whereby the plastic produced can be at least slightly decomposed to smaller substances by the living organisms from marine algae and also to characterize the plastic that have been produced from the marine algae via mechanical and physical testing. In this study, algae which are Red Eucheuma cottonii are t...

Nutritional fact study has prime importance to make the species edible and commercially viable to the food consumers. The proximate chemical composition and amino acid profile of Gelidium pusillum were studied to understand the nutritional status. The red seaweed Gelidium pusillum was rich in dietary fibre (24.74 ± 1.05%), lipid (2.16 ± 0.61%) and ash content (21.15 ± 0.74%). The mean protein c...
