Alternative protocols for the production of more sustainable agar-based extracts from Gelidium sesquipedale

Marta Martinez-Sanz et al.

Summary: Agar-based extracts were obtained from Gelidium sesquipedale using different extraction methods. Ultrasound-assisted extraction significantly reduced extraction time while maintaining or increasing yield. Semi-refined extracts showed higher antioxidant capacity and lower global warming potential, indicating the potential for more sustainable agar-based extracts for food-related applications.
