Description
Carolina Padrón-Sanz and co-authors tune algae extraction for antioxidant power in 2025. Brown seaweeds hold compounds that fight oxidation, prized by industry. Yet compound yield and actual antioxidant strength often fail to move together, which misleads process tuning.
The team optimized an ultrasound method by strength first, not yield, across four edible species. Factors ranged over algae amount, solvent, time, power, and heat. The best extracts blocked most of a test radical and scored high on two further strength assays. Two species stood out, and lab checks pinned the strength mainly on tannin-like compounds and a pigment.
