Define your target
Identify the fraction you want to recover and whether preserving its structure is important.

Tailored enzymes and enzyme blends for enzyme-assisted seaweed extraction. Available in bulk for appropriate non-food research and industrial applications, following consultation.
Discuss extraction enzymes ↗The right extraction approach starts with the fraction you want to recover and how it will be used. Tell us whether you want to open up the biomass before a separation step, release a target fraction into solution or explore selective processing of a particular seaweed component.
Brown, red and green seaweeds have different compositions, and pretreatment can change how the biomass behaves. We discuss your species, fresh or dried state, particle size, solids loading, pH and temperature before recommending an enzyme approach.
Identify the fraction you want to recover and whether preserving its structure is important.
Describe the filtration, centrifugation or other recovery steps you intend to use after enzyme treatment.
Agree how you will assess recovery, selectivity, viscosity and suitability for the next processing step.
We have panels of hundreds of high-activity enzymes designed to break down different components of seaweed’s complex structure. Speak to Scientific & Technical about a tailored enzyme or blend for your feedstock, process and required bulk quantity. Our current seaweed enzyme range is non-food grade and is not supplied for food or feed use.
