In addition, brown algae extracts contain a number of valuable biologically active compounds. Brown algae alsocontain algic acid, which is not digested by a human body, but performs an important function of body clearance of sodium,radioactive strontium and cadmium and potassium accumulation. Summarizing all known data in literature about edible usageof microphytes, the conclusion comes out that food products from brown algae concede to food products produced from landplants taking into account content and quality protein and carbohydrates composition.
