Algae as foodEat more and better seafood from the bottom of the food web
Microalgae Will become important supplies for poly-unsaturated fatty acids as fisheries are dwindling.

Macroalgae (seaweeds)Ø 10,000 species in all climatic belts. About 500 species exploited as food.Ø Global annual production 29 mio. metric tonnes; value 6.5 billion $US.
>95% in aquaculture; >80% for direct human consumption.Ø Future scenario: multi-trophic eco-aquacultures including seaweed, fish, filter
feeders.
• Highly unexploited and generally sustainable crop.• Need for gastronomy and gastrosciences to enhance broader use in households and food
industry as well as to increase market value. Focus on health, taste and functionality.• Important nutrients in seaweeds: high levels of micro- and macronutrients, vitamins, poly-
unsaturated fatty acids. K-salts > Na-salts.• Various uses as food: Whole foods; hydrogels; salt substitute; condiments; in bread, meat- and
dairy products.• Taste comes first: Rich source of free glutamate à umami. Enhances flavor and deliciousness
of other foodstuff, e.g., vegetables.

Important nutrients in seaweeds• Proteins and essentiel amino acids (7-35%)• Dietary fibres (45-75%, soluble, unsoluble)
(only few calories)
• Vitamins: A, B (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 og folate), C, E• Iodine• More K-salt than Na-salt• Minerals: (~ 10x plants) Fe (>spinach, egg yolk),
Ca (> milk), P, Mg, Cl• Trace elements: Zn, Cu, Mn, Se, Mo, Cr• Essentiel fatty acids (2-5%), omega-3, omega-6

Common chef statement:
20 different brown species from 12 different generaNereocystis, Macrocystis, Laminaria, Saccharina, Undaria, Alaria, Postelsia, Himanthalia, Ecklonia (former Eisenia), Sargassum, Fucus, and Corda
Brown seaweeds impart umami to food
