Take, for example, one of our most common seaweeds, Neptune’s necklace ( Hormosira banksii ). et al. Seaweed consumption was associated with increased risk of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid in Japanese postmenopausal women but not premenopausal women.194 However, another study found no association between seaweed consumption and total thyroid cancer risk or papillary carcinoma in premenopausal or postmenopausal women.195 Iodine-induced hypothyroidism is reported in iodine-sufficient, kelp-consuming populations of Japan,196 yet iodine-induced hyperthyroidism is also reported in individuals who consume kelp.197,198 The use of seaweed supplements is not recommended for pregnant women, owing to the variability and excessive iodine content of seaweeds, with kelp-based products being of particular concern.199,200 Synergy between iodine supplementation and exposure to heavy metals in seaweed, such as mercury, may also impair thyroid function through the reduction of total T3.201, The iodine content of the seaweeds shown in Tables  S9, S10, and S11 in the Supporting Information online ranges from 0.06 mg/100 g of dry weight (Ulva lactuca) to 624.5 mg/100 g of dry weight (Laminaria digitata), but many characterization studies do not quantify iodine.

Fucoxanthin is thought to exert its effects by inhibiting the digestive enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase, which in turn affects lipid metabolism by modulating leptin and adiponectin, resulting in downregulation of lipogenesis and upregulation lipolysis.166,167 In several in vivo animal studies, fucoxanthin supplementation was shown to reduce blood glucose, plasma insulin, body weight gain, and accumulation of lipid in the liver; to decrease insulin resistance; and to improve the plasma lipid profile.168,169 Results of studies investigating the impact of fucoxanthin on cholesterol metabolism in mice have differed. . Consumption of Porphyra spp was inversely associated with breast cancer risk in premenopausal women but not in postmenopausal women, and no association was found between Undaria pinnatifida consumption and breast cancer risk.265 A study by Michikawa et al194 identified a positive association between seaweed consumption and the risk of thyroid cancer (especially papillary carcinoma) in postmenopausal women, while Wang et al195 did not find an association between seaweed intake and thyroid cancer incidence in either premenopausal or postmenopausal women.

Through an evaluation of the nutritional composition of edible seaweeds, this review summarizes the available evidence and outlines the potential risks and health benefits of consuming whole seaweeds, extracted bioactive components, and seaweed-based food products in humans. There is increasing interest in the potential prebiotic effect of seaweed-derived fiber, which can modulate the composition and metabolism of the colonic microbiota, as well as growing interest in the effect of fiber fermentation on human health.

Hence, species-specific conversion factors ranging from 3.57 to 5.72 have been proposed for seaweed.56 The amino acid composition of proteins is critical to determining the value of proteins to the human diet, particularly in achieving an adequate intake of essential amino acids. Plant constricted at regular intervals into a series of hollow beads usually 10 mm in diametre. et al. Looking ahead, more human intervention studies with defined health-related endpoints are needed to establish how chronic consumption of whole seaweeds and their extracted bioactive components affects human health.

Brownlee IA, Allen A, Pearson JP, Wan yellow light, typical of a sun well past the … However, the contribution of whole seaweed to the currently recommended intake of dietary fiber, ie, 25 g/d, is limited, with a 5-g serving of brown, red, or green seaweed contributing up to 14.28%, 10.64%, or 12.10% of dietary fiber intake, respectively (Tables 1, 2, and 3).79 This has led to increasing interest in the industrially applicable extraction and isolation of individual fiber components from seaweed. Neptune’s necklace (Hormosira banksii) is well known to most people who have visited the rocky shore. . Another parallel study in overweight men showed that consumption of an Ascophyllum nodosum–enriched (4%) bread reduced energy intake by 109 kcal and 506 kcal at 4 hours and 24 hours post consumption, respectively, compared with an isocaloric placebo.99 Similar results were reported when consumption of a preload alginate drink reduced energy intake by 44 kcal following an ad libitum lunch.100 A crossover study reported that daily energy intake was reduced by 135 kcal when participants consumed alginate (1.5 g/100 mL) prior to meals,101 but no significant effect of a preload alginate drink on measures of energy intake or concentration of satiety hormones in overweight/obese individuals was reported elsewhere.102 Alginate appears to affect appetite and food intake, yet research is needed to the characterize the action of alginates by examining both the relationship between structure and function (particularly molecular weight and the ratio of guluronate to mannuronate) and the role of the gelling capacity of alginate. Research into the mechanism of action of alginate is required, given that alginate does not seem to affect gastric emptying.100,102 The formulation of alginate food products organoleptically acceptable to the consumer is another consideration for industry. Another study showed that 2 arsenic metabolites, DMA and 2-dimethylarsinoyl ethanol (DMAE), were detected in the urine of 5 volunteers who consumed 20 to 25 g of Laminaria spp (total arsenic, 43.2 µg/g): the peak ratio of arsenic to creatinine was 228, 158, 141, 72, and 70 ng/mL, and levels normalized after 80 hours.236. et al. The health claims associated with seaweed products are often based on insufficient (or completely absent) evidence from human intervention studies to substantiate such statements. et al.

Rodrigues D, Freitas AC, Pereira L, Premenopausal woman with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and premenopausal women with normal liver fat who consumed the fucoxanthin product over 16 weeks showed a significant reduction in body weight, by 5.5 kg and 5 kg, respectively, compared with the placebo group. In a Caco-2 and HT29-MTX coculture, iodine uptake following in vitro digestion was only 4% to 6% (hijiki), 2% to 4% (kombu), and 4% to 7% (wakame),203 which also suggests limited liberation of iodine species, limited solubility of iodine, or limited absorption of iodine.206–208, Urinary excretion of iodine from Gracilaria verrucosa and Laminaria hyperborea was reported as 101% and 90%, respectively, in an iodine-sufficient population, yet as 85% and 61.5% in an iodine-deficient population.209 Reduced urinary iodine excretion in the deficient cohort was attributed to increased iodine storage in the thyroid210; thus, seaweed consumption may improve iodine status in those at risk of iodine deficiency, as demonstrated in vegan populations.211,212. da Costa E, Melo T, Moreira ASP, . One concern about seaweed consumption is exposure to heavy metals such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, rubidium, silicon, strontium, and tin.176 The contamination of seaweeds with heavy metals depends on habitat or ecology, which has led to inconsistency in research findings. It produces its own food through the process of photosynthesis. . . A 5-g portion of dried brown, red, and green seaweed corresponds, respectively, to a maximum of 1.97%, 4.5%, and 2.98% of the Reference Nutrient Intake for protein. et al. At an intake of 3.3 to 12.5 g/d, Laminaria digitata contains 24 to 90 µg of cadmium,176 which corresponds to 40% to 150% of the tolerable daily intake, while Laminaria japonica contains 0.45 to 0.80 mg/kg, which exceeds the maximum limits for seaweed products according to legislation in France (0.5 mg/kg of dry weight) and Australia/New Zealand (0.2 mg/kg of dry weight), but not in China (1.0 mg/kg).225 Tables S15, S16, and S17 in the Supporting Information online provide details of the heavy metal content of several brown, red, and green seaweeds, respectively, although information about the toxicokinetics of heavy metals ingested from seaweeds is too limited to make conclusions about potential health risks. We ended up with a couple of varieties – most of these are bladder wracks, which are all technically edible but not that great tasting. Seaweeds growing in areas of contamination, often caused by industry or poor sewage systems, accumulate heavy metals from the surrounding water and rocks, but at levels that pose little risk to human health.218 However, exposure to contaminants is increased in perennial seaweeds, the regular consumption of which may lead to risk of heavy metal toxicity in humans.219,220 Levels of arsenic, mercury, lead, and cadmium in 426 Korean dried seaweed products ranged from 0.2% to 6.7% of provisional tolerable weekly intakes when 8.5 g of seaweed was consumed per day.176,218,221 In 1 study, the authors called for continuous monitoring of heavy metals in seaweed-based food products, owing to differences between species in the bioabsorption of metals.221 An example of these between-species differences is evident in Laminaria spp. Hormosira banksii. Methods of calculation. Everybody knows this .....except for our Government which will die clutching a handful of useless bank notes to its chest. Food Standards Agency, Government of the United Kingdom. Polyphenols detected in serum ranged from 0.011 to 7.757 µg/mL, while the total concentration of urinary phlorotannin and its metabolites ranged from 0.15 to 33.52 µg/mL.145 The authors concluded, on basis of the absorption rate (6–24 hours), that the gut microbiota–mediated metabolism of the polyphenols could be a major contributor to the apparent interpersonal variation in polyphenol absorption. They are often bound to cell wall polysaccharides, protecting against oxidative damage.136 Brown seaweeds contain diverse flavonoid and phlorotannin polyphenols that vary in structure, molecular weight, and level of isomerization.137,138, The purported bioactivities of seaweed polyphenols include potential anticancer141 and antioxidant activities.140,142,143 Inhibition of digestive enzymes, which may prevent lipid absorption and help maintain glucose homeostasis, has also been suggested.138,139. Moreover, only a limited number of studies in humans, with few participants, have investigated the bioavailability and activity of vitamins obtained from seaweeds. Advertisement of cancer treatments is prohibited in the United Kingdom,119 although legislation regarding advertisement of cancer prevention is less clear.120 Furthermore, marketing fucoidan as a food ingredient with cancer-preventive effects is extremely difficult to substantiate and may prove very difficult within the existing regulatory environment. Mechanisms of action must also be elucidated to substantiate any future health claims associated with seaweed consumption and to support applications within the food and nutraceutical industries.

Another recent study reported that the content of inorganic arsenic was negligible in 23 seaweed food products except for hijiki (19.83 µg/g), agar (0.06 µg/g), and nori (0.03 µg/g).235 Total arsenic concentrations in seaweed products were as follows, in descending order: hijiki (83.7 µg/g), kombu (51.2 µg/g), kelp seasoning (43.5 µg/g), arame (41.6 µg/g), wakame (34.7 µg/g), dried red seaweed (35.2 µg/g), nori (19.4 µg/g), dulse (12.1 µg/g), agar (0.23 µg/g), and kelp noodles (0.08 µg/g).

Edible seaweeds (macroalgae) have the potential to provide a rich and sustainable source of macronutrients and micronutrients to the human diet, particularly in regions where seaweed makes a significant contribution to regular meals, eg, in Japan, where approximately one-fifth of meals contain seaweed.1–3 Inclusion of seaweeds in Western diets has traditionally been limited to artisanal practices and coastal communities but has gained wider consumer interest in recent years, courtesy of the health-food industry.4 The recent surge of interest in seaweed is fueled by attention on the bioactive components of seaweed, which have potential applications in the lucrative functional food and nutraceutical industries, with impetus toward the alleviation of metabolic risk factors such as hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperlipidemia.5 The candidate bioactive components of interest to industry include isolated polysaccharides (eg, alginate, fucoidan), proteins (eg, phycobiliproteins), polyphenols (eg, phlorotannins), carotenoids (eg, fucoxanthin), and n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (eg, eicosapentaenoic acid). Published April 1, 2015. Published January 2013. A. An overview of the amino acid contents of several brown, red, and green seaweeds is presented in Tables S3, S4, and S5 in the Supporting Information online. Search for other works by this author on: VOYA Products Limited, County Sligo, Ireland. Percent fat content is highest in winter and lowest in summer, and fatty acid composition varies by season.16,40,128 For example, both the lipid concentration and the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content of Saccharina latissima grown in integrated multitrophic aquaculture were highest in March and November, yet lowest in January.129 Moreover, seaweed-derived lipids are highly digestible. et al. Yotsu-Yamashita M, Yasumoto T, Yamada S, For example, the vitamin A content (retinol equivalents of carotenoid content, determined by high-performance liquid chromatography) of a 5-g portion of dried seaweed varies from 14.5 μg (2% of Reference Nutrient Intake [RNI]) in Ulva rigida53 to 70.5 μg in Fucus spiralis (10% of RNI).26 The vitamin C content varies from 0.41 mg (1% of RNI) in Ascophyllum nodosum to 9.24 mg (23% of RNI) in Undaria pinnatifida.1 Reported folate (vitamin B9) content varies from 7.5 μg (3.75% of RNI) in Ulva spp1 to 5400 μg (2700% of RNI) in Ulva rigida.53 Both seasonal and geographical variations may explain such wide variation within the same genus. . As with iodine, it has been suggested that food regulation should ensure the disclosure of heavy metal contents on food labeling and establish legal limits for the content of inorganic arsenic in seaweed.260 Cooking methods and food processing procedures may help reduce the amount of heavy metal present in edible seaweeds, but regulatory bodies and industry both face challenges. A rice starch edible coating blended with sucrose esters was developed for controlling the postharvest physiological activity of Cavendish banana to extend postharvest quality during ripening at 20 ± 2 °C. In Japan, where approximately 20 different types of seaweed are consumed, the majority being wakame (Undaria spp), kombu (Laminaria spp), and nori (Porphyra spp), iodine intake varies from 0.1 to 20 mg/d (average intake, 1–3 mg/d), which can exceed the upper tolerable limits of 600 µg/d (EFSA) and 1100 µg/d (World Health Organization).191–193, The epidemiological evidence detailing the risks and benefits of iodine intake from seaweeds remains inconclusive. wide (2 cm), in spring. et al. et al. is an employee of VOYA Products Ltd. https://cot.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/cot/cotsection.pdf.

There are only limited reports of green seaweeds contributing to dietary intake of either essential nutrients or bioactive components, despite the potential for transient algal blooms to be exploited.6, Aquaculture is recognized as the most sustainable means of seaweed production and accounts for approximately 27.3 million tonnes (96%) of global seaweed production per annum, yet the growing demand for seaweed-based food ingredients calls for more established guidelines and regulations to ensure sustainability.7 Future considerations for stakeholder management include resource ownership; best practices for cultivation; harvesting rights/licensing; certification/validation of origin; overexploitation; biomass regrowth; environmental impacts; and the development of a sustainable value chain within the agrifood sector.2, An abundance of commercially available seaweed products, including both whole seaweed and seaweed extracts, are marketed both directly and indirectly as value-added products for the promotion of health in the supplement market. Nicola JP, Basquin C, Portulano C, Seaweed consumption may improve vitamin status; however, characterization of the vitamin content of seaweed is required to improve the development of seaweed supplements, as vitamin content varies with seaweed species, time of harvesting, and geographical location. . The limited evidence that does exist makes some seaweed components attractive as functional food ingredients, but more human evidence (including mechanistic evidence) is needed to evaluate both the nutritional benefit conferred and the efficacy of purported bioactives and to determine any potential adverse effects.

Kilometres of seagrass Ulva species Sargassum sp. 242 Such variation in inorganic arsenic contents may warrant regular testing for inorganic arsenic content in Laminaria spp food products. Seaweeds contain a diverse range of fiber components. For example, the UK Food Standards Agency has advised against consuming Sargassum fusiforme (hijiki) because of significant food safety concerns over high levels of inorganic arsenic.248 To reduce health risks, regular environmental assessment and analysis of the arsenic species present in seaweed-containing food products may be required to ascertain the exposure to and the potential toxicity of heavy metals.221,242 Indirect exposure to arsenic could also be a concern if arsenic accumulates in the food chain following the use of seaweed either as feed for livestock258 or as fertilizer.259 The majority of edible seaweeds have been reported to contain heavy metals in safe amounts.
