Abstract

The macroalgae value chain is similar to other plant-based production chains in that they go through the same chain of production, grow-out, harvesting, processing, utilization, and ultimately disposal. Extraction is a process specific only to the end product and can include the extraction of polysaccharides including hydrocolloids. The extraction process also contains other high-value specialty chemicals for use as additives in food and cosmetic products. This chapter explores the macroalgal value chain.
