Abstract

Different studies have already demonstrated a direct relationship between seaweed consumption and the prevention and/or improvement in the treatment of diseases related to oxidative stress. Algae have been used, therefore, in the investigation of bioactive compounds, with the aim of developing new medicines and healthy foods. This article presents the results of the analysis of vitamin C, vitamin E, fucoxanthin, chlorophyll a, pheophytin a, lutein, β-carotene, total polyphenol content, and antioxidant activity in Himanthalia elongata dehydrated, hydrated by immersion, boiled, and steamed. These results contribute to a better understanding of the bioactive compounds’ behavior when subjected to different culinary methods and reaffirms the potential of H. elongata as interesting food in our diet
Diferentes estudios han demostrado una relación directa entre el consumo de algas y la prevención y/o mejora en el tratamiento de enfermedades relacionadas con el estrés oxidativo. En las algas se ha investigado la presencia de compuestos bioactivos, con el objetivo de desarrollar nuevos medicamentos y alimentos para la salud. Este trabajo presenta los resultados del análisis de vitamina C, vitamina E, fucoxantina, clorofila a, feofitina, luteína, β-caroteno, contenido total de polifenoles y actividad antioxidante en Himanthalia elongata deshidratada, hidratada por inmersión, hervida y al vapor. Estos resultados contribuyen a una comprensión mejor del comportamiento de los compuestos bioactivos cuando la H. elongata se somete a diferentes métodos culinarios y confirma su interés potencial como alimento de nuestra dieta
