TL;DR: An overview of the mineral content of prevalent edible European macroalgae is presented, highlighting the main factors interfering in their accumulation and the impact of using these marine vegetables as functional ingredients or NaCl replacers in foods will be discussed.

TL;DR: This manuscript revises available reported data focusing the role of diet supplementation of macroalgae, or extracts enriched in bioactive compounds from macroalgai origin, in targeting modifiable markers of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), like dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, vascular inflammation, hypertension, hypercoagulability and activation of the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin systems.

TL;DR: An overview of the nutritional and phytochemical composition of Fucus spp.

TL;DR: In this paper, small deformation dynamic rheometry was used to characterise the calcium-induced gelation of low-methoxyl pectins, at two different pH values.

TL;DR: The use of chitosan-based nanoparticles in nanomedicine, biomedical engineering, discovery and development of new drugs has been discussed in this article, with the focus on properties, usage safety, and potentially valuable applications.
