海藻含有许多不同的和有商业价值的成分，从单个色素和代谢物到整个生物量，但它们仍然是一种未被充分利用的商品。目前，海藻的商业开发主要限于整个生物质消耗或食品工业的单一产品提取物。以多种产品和服务为基础的海藻生物精炼厂的发展可以为开拓新的和目前尚未开发的市场提供重要机会。在这里，我们评估了英国西南海岸的原生和入侵海藻，以确定它们的特性和通过生物精炼管道开发的潜力，研究了多种成分，包括色素，碳水化合物，脂质，蛋白质和其他代谢产物。
Seaweeds contain many varied and commercially valuable components, from individual pigments and metabolites through to whole biomass, and yet they remain an under cultivated and underutilised commodity. Currently, commercial exploitation of seaweeds is predominantly limited to whole biomass consumption or single product extracts for the food industry. The development of a seaweed biorefinery, based around multiple products and services, could provide an important opportunity to exploit new and currently underexplored markets. Here, we assessed the native and invasive seaweeds on the South West coast of the UK to determine their characteristics and potential for exploitation through a biorefinery pipeline, looking at multiple components including pigments, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and other metabolites.
