The Baja California Peninsula is one of the richest regions of seaweed resources in México. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition of some marine algae species of Baja California Sur, with an economical potential due to their abundance and distribution, and to promote their use as food for human consumption and animal feeding. The algae studied were Green (Ulva spp., Enteromorpha intestinalis, Caulerpa sertularoides, Bryopsis hypnoides), Red (Laurencia johnstonii, Spyridia filamentosa, Hypnea valentiae) and Brown (Sargassum herporizum, S. sinicola, Padina durvillaei, Hydroclathrus clathrathus, Colpomenia sinuosa). The algae were dried and ground before analysis. In general, the results showed that algae had a protein level less than 11%, except L. johnstonii with 18% and low energy content. The ether extract content was lower than 1%. However, the algae were a good source of carbohydrates and inorganic matter.
下加利福尼亚半岛是墨西哥海藻资源最丰富的地区之一。本研究的目的是确定南下加利福尼亚一些海藻物种的化学成分，由于它们的丰富度和分布情况，这些海藻具有经济潜力，并促进其作为人类食用和动物饲料的用途。所研究的藻类有绿藻（石莼属、肠浒苔、刺海松、藓羽藻）、红藻（约翰斯顿劳伦藻、丝状多管藻、瓦伦廷角叉菜）和褐藻（缠结马尾藻、中华马尾藻、杜氏团扇藻、网格藻、波状团扇藻）。在分析之前，将藻类干燥并研磨。总体而言，结果表明，除了蛋白质含量为18%的约翰斯顿劳伦藻外，藻类的蛋白质水平低于11%，且能量含量较低。乙醚提取物含量低于1%。然而，藻类是碳水化合物和无机物的良好来源。
