Economic and technical problems related to the reduction of petroleum resources require
the valorisation of renewable raw material. Recently, microalgae emerged as promising …

Protein content in foods and feeds is measured indirectly by nitrogen determination,
requiring a nitrogen‐to‐protein conversion factor (NPCF). Historically, 6.25 was applied to …

A global drive to source additional and sustainable biomass for the production of protein has
resulted in a renewed interest in the protein content of seaweeds. However, to determine …

The Norwegian seaweed industry is expanding and there is a need for accurate estimates of
protein content of seaweed species from Norwegian waters. A solid method to calculate …

Additional evidence about the influence of the cell wall physical and chemical characteristics
on protein extractability was determined by calculating the conversion factors of five different …

Accurately determining protein content is important in the valorization of algal biomass in
food, feed and fuel markets. Conversion of elemental nitrogen to protein is a well-accepted …

By-products from the food sector with a high load of organic matter present both a waste-
handling problem related to expenses and to the environment, yet also an opportunity. This …

Nutrient composition, total phenolic content (TPC) and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of
wild and cultivated seaweeds were determined. Seaweeds had a high range of protein (7 …

Saccharina latissima contains high amounts of iodine in comparison to other seaweeds. The
present study aimed to decrease the iodine content of S. latissima (sugar kelp) by water …

Protein production from microalgae requires both high cell density during cultivation and
high protein content in cells. Heterotrophic microalgae can achieve high cell density, and yet …
