From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seaweed oil, also called algae oil or algal oil, is used for making food, with the purified product almost colorless and odorless.[1] It is also under development as a possible alternative fuel and manufacturing agent.[2]
Seaweed oil is also used as a source of fatty acid dietary supplement, as it contains mono- and polyunsaturated fats, in particular EPA and DHA, both of them omega-3 fatty acids.[3] The supplement's DHA content is roughly equivalent to that of salmon-based fish oil supplement.[4][5]
Seaweed oil is also used for biofuel, pharmaceutical manufacturing, massage oil, soaps, and lotions.[2]
