Description
Summary:Kappaphycus alvarezii (KA), Eucheuma spinosum (ESp) and Eucheuma striatum (Est are tropical red seaweeds taken from Kunak, Sabah, contain essentials source of bioactive compounds to produce variety of functional foods. This study was intended to investigate the physicochemical, physical properties and antioxidant activities related to these edible seaweeds. Physicochemical properties value of swelling capacity (SWC) and oil retention capacity (ORC) in KA species showed the highest value (p
