Seaweed in Health and Disease Prevention, Second Edition updates knowledge on the therapeutic and functional activities related to algae and their compounds. The book includes a new chapter on the use of seaweed and seaweed products in the current war against viral-based exposures, a result of the massive research effort stemming from the global Covid Pandemic, along with the improvement of the nutritional value of algae via enzymatic or fermentation treatments. These treatments are at the origin of the production of oligosaccharides, presenting interesting biological activities for the human microbiota.

Chapter updates on seaweed’s biochemical characteristics such as proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides are also addressed.

Dr. Joël Fleurence, PhD, is a Professor of Marine Biology and Biochemistry at Nantes University in the ISOMER laboratory. In 1985, he began his research career in the pharmaceutical industry at the French Company Roussel-Uclaf. In 1990, he was recruited by the Institute of Valorization of Seaweeds to lead research about the chemical composition and nutritional properties of macro-algae. He contributed to French regulation on marine algae used as sea vegetables. His research mainly focuses on the use of seaweed proteins in human nutrition. Dr. Ira A. Levine, PhD is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Southern Maine and the CEO of the Algae Foundation. He has previously been awarded a 2009–2010 US State Department, Fulbright New Century Scholar and the 2016–2017 Fulbright Distinguished Chair Fellowship. He combines 40 years of applied and basic research in the physiological ecology and cultivation of algae, aquatic and farming management. His farming experience includes open-ocean and pond cultivation in Canada, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, and the United States. As the CEO of the Algae Foundation, he is currently focused on algal-based workforce development, education, and training in the United States and 100 other countries.
