Report Analysis:

Process of production of Seaweed Extract:

Seaweed extraction begins with the identification of the macroalgae species, and subsequent harvesting and washing, to remove contaminants, drying. The biomass then goes through extraction by aqueous, enzymatic or alkaline hydrolysis, which eliminates some of the biophysical barriers to liberate bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and phytohormones. The bioactive solution is then filtered through a mesh screen, concentrated, and standardized by ensuring bioactivity and stability.
