Abstract
ABSTRACT The exploration of bioactive phytochemical quantities of two underutilized Sri Lankan seaweeds Ulva lactuca (UL) and Ulva fasciata (UF) revealed significant phenolic, flavonoid, ulvan, carotenoid, chlorophyll, tannin, saponin, alkaloid contents, and DPPH radical scavenging activities. To evaluate their application in developing seaweed incorporated cereal-based functional snacks, wheat crackers were formulated using 0% (control), 2%, and 4% seaweed powder as a flour replacement. Developed seaweed incorporated crackers had elevated sensory acceptability, protein, and ash contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities, confirming the capacity of UL and UF seaweed utilization in producing potentially functional snacks with improved sensory and nutritional attributes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology publishes research papers, short communications, and review articles concerning the application of science and technology and biotechnology to all aspects of research, innovation, production, and distribution of food products originating from the marine and freshwater bodies of the world. The journal features articles on various aspects of basic and applied science in topics related to:
-harvesting and handling practices-
processing with traditional and new technologies-
refrigeration and freezing-
packaging and storage-
safety and traceability-
byproduct utilization-
consumer attitudes toward aquatic food.
The Journal also covers basic studies of aquatic products as related to food chemistry, microbiology, and engineering, such as all flora and fauna from aquatic environs, including seaweeds and underutilized species used directly for human consumption or alternative uses. Special features in the journal include guest editorials by specialists in their fields and book reviews covering a wide range of topics.
