Iodine speciation and bioavailability in edible seaweeds harvested in Galicia

Year: 2012

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This work has been developed in the context of a region with a recent industry of seaweeds for human consumption. It is well known that algae are one of the organisms containing the highest concentrations of iodine (I), an essential trace element for humans. Nevertheless there is still a lack of information about the nature of the iodinated compounds present in algae and on their bioavailability. The main objectives of this PhD thesis were to study in depth the I content from edible seaweeds harvested in Galicia (northwestern Spain), the chemical nature of the iodinated species and its bioavailability in human beings.
