Abstract(s)

This study evaluates the chemical composition (proteins, fiber, total lipids, total carbohydrates and ash) os selected macroalgae common at the Azorean shores with potencial nutricional value for human food suplement. The protein content ranged from 2.86% to 18.48% of dry weight (DW) for Padina pavonica and Codium adhaerens, respectively and fiber ranged from 31.02% to 69.10% of DW for Codium adhaerens and Cystoseira humilis, respectively. The total of lipids ranged from 1.55% to 5.20% of DW for Cystoseira humulis and Codium adhaerens, respectively, and the total of carbohydrates ranged from 7,61% to 16.78% for Padina pavonica and Codium adhaerens, respectively.
