A biorefinery approach to the biomass of the seaweed undaria pinnatifida (Harvey Suringar, 1873): Obtaining Phlorotannins-enriched extracts for wound healing

This presentation focuses on a biorefinery approach to Undaria pinnatifida biomass for producing phlorotannin-enriched extracts aimed at wound healing applications. It covers the challenges of phlorotannin production, sequential extraction methods, and a circular economy approach. Key insights into the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties of these extracts are provided, along with their analytical characterization to demonstrate potential health and economic benefits.
