TL;DR: In this article, the potential antioxidant activities of water and 70% acetone extracts from ten species of Icelandic seaweeds were evaluated using three antioxidant assays. But no correlation was found with their TPC, suggesting that other components such as polysaccharides, proteins or peptides in the extracts were more effective chelators of ferrous ions than phenolic compounds.

TL;DR: A process for the effective extraction and fractionation of phlorotannins from Fucus vesiculosus with high antioxidant potentials was investigated, finding no clear relationships between the degree of polymerization, molecular size, and antioxidant activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various protease and carbohydrase treatments on the extraction of polyphenols and other antioxidant ingredients from the red algae Palmaria palmata (dulse) was investigated.

TL;DR: Volatile compounds in cod fillets packed in Styrofoam boxes were analyzed during chilled storage and ketones, mainly 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, were detected in the highest level at sensory rejection, followed by amines, alcohols, acids, and aldehydes.

TL;DR: A health risk assessment indicated that consumption of these seaweed species poses a low risk for humans with regard to heavy metals, and an EU-wide regulation on maximal concentration of heavy metals in seaweeds should be established.
