Effectiveness of High-Solid Loading Treatments to Enhance Nutrient and Antioxidant Bioavailability in Codium tomentosum

  • Catarina Ramos-Oliveira,
  • Marta Ferreira,
  • Isabel Belo,
  • Aires Oliva-Teles and
  • Helena Peres

1 November 2025

Macroalgae have low nutrient bioavailability, often requiring pretreatments—physical, chemical, or biological—typically using low-solid loading hydrolysis, which produces separate liquid and solid phases. In contrast, high-solid loading h...
