It is becoming increasingly realised that seaweeds are a source of valuable bioactive ingredients with potential benefits for human health. This website is the home of two EC funded research programmes – HYFFI (Hydrocolloid Derivatives as Functional Food Ingredients) and SWAFAX (Seaweed derived anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants) that are searching for novel ingredients from European seaweeds.
Click on the SWAFAX link below for further details on the 'Bioactives from Seaweed and Innovative Ingredients in Salt Reduction' Conference in Coleraine held on 17th and 18th June 2011.
