Seaweeds, i.e. macroalgae that occupy the littoral zone, are a great source of compounds with diverse applications; their types and content greatly determine the potential applications and commercial values. Algal polysaccharides, namely the hydrocolloids: agar, alginate and carrageenan, as well as other non-jellifying polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, are valuable bioproducts.

Introdução: O exercício físico regular é considerado, não só, um factor importante para o bem-estar físico e psíquico do indivíduo como, pode mesmo, interferir no processo de envelhecimento, retardando-o. Contudo, a prática do exercício físico desencadeia uma situação de stress fisiológico, à qual o organismo responde activando mecanismos de adaptação.

2021 - 2025 Investigating the hypothesis that the biochemical composition of Rhodophyta communities in Peniche is unique, presents seasonal variations, and can be increased under controlled conditions, the nutritional value of selected species, both wild and cultivated, will be evaluated. Identify potentially profitable species from a biotechnological perspective. Assessments of seasonal nutritional compositions (protein and lipid content, crude fiber, phycocolloids, MAA profiles and pigment content) and bioactivities (antioxidant and antimicrobial).

2021 - 2025 Natural fungicides against airborne or soil-borne pathogens in the Atlantic region. The objectives are: o studies and development of biostimulants and biofungicides against relevant pathogenic fungi. These biostimulants will also allow an increase in agricultural productivity, improving soil biodiversity. Assessment of the food safety of phycocolloids: Agar, Carrageenan and Alginate.

2020/10/12 Portuguese are (re)discovering the value of algae World algae production doubled between 2005 and 2015. Portugal follows the same trend, with new projects being established and new products sparking consumer interest. With a vast Atlantic coastline, the country has around 700 species of algae in its waters and can position itself as a main player in this rapidly growing market. After all, sea lupine, Atlantic nori or old lady's hair have been consumed here for a long time.

2012 - 2012 “Argaço” O sargaço, também designado por argaço, é o conjunto de diversas algas marinhas que crescem nos rochedos da plataforma continental. Usado como fertilizante agrícola, o seu uso está praticamente restrito à região Norte do país, em particular em campos hortícolas da zona da Póvoa de Varzim e de Viana do Castelo. Além da agricultura e fertilização das terras de cultivo, as algas, normalmente apanhadas entre maio e setembro, podem também ser utilizados nas indústrias cosmética e farmacêutica.
