Chemical composition: It is rich in minerals, amino acids (such as proline and alanine), mannitol, and highly antioxidant compounds called phlorotannins. Alginate extraction: Its polymers are processed to obtain sodium alginate, a thickening, gelling, and stabilizing agent widely used in the food, chemical, and textile industries. Agriculture: It is used to produce fertilizers and agricultural biostimulants.

Nematicidal Effect: Certain extracts from the macroalgae naturally control nematode pests (microscopic worms that attack the roots of tomatoes and other vegetables). Cosmetics and Personal Care: Due to its high mineral and amino acid content and highly moisturizing properties, it is processed for: Microdermabrasion treatments: Exfoliating and skin-rejuvenating products.
