Is Gigartina a potential source of food protein and functional peptide-based ingredients? Evaluating an industrial, pilot-scale extract by proteomics and bioinformatics

Abstract

Seaweeds attract substantial interest as novel sources of sustainable food protein, as they are established sources of industrial hydrocolloids with reasonable protein content. In this study, we investigate the protein composition and nutritional quality of a seaweed protein extract (SPE) from Gigartina sp. The SPE displayed low (
