Resumo(s)
Fifteen attached macroalgae from the Madeira
Archipelago, comprising three green, three red and nine
brown algal species, as well as two beach-cast macroalgal
samples, collected along the north shore of Gran Canaria,
were assessed for their biochemical properties. The anal ysis included the determination of total minerals, total
carbohydrates, protein, lipids, chlorophyll a, total carote noids, total phenolic content, fucoxanthin and phycobilins
(allophycocyanin, phycocyanin and phycoerythrin). The
results showed a high variability of biochemical composi tion, allowing for the targetting of specific bioresources for
particular purposes, including functional foods. This work
provides the foundation for a biorefinery strategy implementation plan, for which specific macroalgae may be tar geted for valuable and beneficial compounds
