Sea fennel

On the cliffs and rocks by the sea is one of the rare plants capable of surviving the regular onslaught of the waves: the samphire marine.

Sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum) is a halophytic plant from the seashore belonging to the Apiaceae family.
Sea fennel is characterised by a vegetal, carrot-like smell. It has a rather fibrous, bitter taste, with a very distinctive, persistent taste of parsley. Unlike sea asparagus, it does not have an intense salty flavour. Sea fennel is sometimes preserved in vinegar and is used like a spongey pickle. Sea fennel is an aromatic plant.

High Pressures to facilitate protein extraction from spirulina
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is rich in C-phycocyanin (C-pc), a protein-pigment complex with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and anti-carcinogenic properties. This protein requires an extraction phase due to its intracellular location; preferably a cold extraction as high temperatures can alter its functionality. The extraction techniques currently used, such as a succession of freezing and thawing phases, are

What about the digestibility of seaweed in farmed poultry?
©Magda Ehlers Researchers looked at two macroalgae (Caulerpa lentillifera J. Agardh and Ulva rigida C. Agardh), one cyanobacterium (Spirulina) and two microalgae (Coelastrella sp. (KKUP1) and Scenedesmus sp. (KKUP2)) to assess their protein content, amino acid profile and in vitro digestibility, with a view to evaluating their potential as poultry feed. The authors assessed the
Do algae allow pathogenic bacteria to grow?
Do algae allow pathogenic bacteria to grow?
Like all food products, seaweed must be safe and without risk to the consumer. Due to its high content of commensal marine bacteria (naturally present on the surface of the seaweed), seaweed does not appear to be a good medium for the growth of pathogenic bacteria.  These would have to compete with the flora already
