Undaria pinnatifida (UP) is a brown algae commonly consumed as food in Asian countries. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different domestic cooking methods (i.e., air frying (AF), microwaving, and high temperature and pressure (HTP) cooking) on the nutritional and bioactive substances in UP, as well as on UP color and texture, in order to identify methods to retain beneficial components better. In this study, microwave treatment resulted in better retention of color, polysaccharide (4.17 ± 0.07 mg glucose equivalents (GE)/g dry weight (dw) ), total phenol content (TPC) (1.50 ± 0.0062 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g dw) as well as chlorophyll a (18.18 ± 0.41 mg/g fresh weight (fw) ) and fucoxanthin (281.78 ± 17.06 μg/g dw). HTP treatment increased the TPC of UP (1.69 ± 0.0075 mg GAE/g dw), and AF treatment resulted in a lower loss of total amino acids (2.14 ± 0.15%). Overall, microwave cooking appeared to be the best among the three in producing cooked UP with high quality. This study provided a useful guideline in selection of cooking for UP which could retain more health-beneficial substances and yield products with better eating qualities to improve human diet.
