Effect of different drying techniques on the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of kappaphycus alvarezii

The effect of different drying techniques on the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of Kappaphycus alvarezii (‘crocodile’ morphotype) were inves-tigated. Phytochemical (total phenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin and carotenoid content) and antioxidant activity of the sea-weed were determined...
