Seaweed Amino Acids Analysis

Seaweeds are considered a complete protein source because they contain all nine essential amino acids (EAAs) histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine, which are essential for protein synthesis, tissue repair and nutrient absorption. In seaweed, EAAs account for almost half of the total amino acids, and their protein distribution is close to that of egg proteins. All three groups (green, brown, and red seaweed) contained similar amounts in the non-EAA case. Red seaweed appears to be a good source of protein, as it reaches 47% of its value. Therefore, seaweeds are a valuable source of protein not only because of their overall protein content, but also because of their amino acid composition. One of the main aspects that attracts the attention of customers is consumer awareness of the health benefits of seaweed protein products.

Our Techniques

MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

In MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, the ion source is matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and the mass analyzer is a time-of-flight (TOF) analyzer.

Mass Spectrometry Platform

Mass spectrometry has made great progress in both technological innovation and application. Over the years, CD BioSciences has built a mass spectrometry platform based on experienced experts and advanced instrumentation.

Ion Chromatography Platform

Ion chromatography (IC) is a type of liquid chromatography; the sample is introduced into the system in liquid form, the mobile phase is a liquid, and the stationary phase is a solid material. In IC, separation occurs due to different coulombic (ionic) interactions between the analyte molecules and the stationary phase.
