Seaweed

Uses

Seaweed is versatile: used as a thickening agent in food, stabilizer in cosmetics, biofertilizer in agriculture, nutritional animal feed supplement, source of bioactive compounds in pharmaceuticals, renewable feedstock for biofuels, and foundation for sustainable bioplastics.

Eucheuma cottonii

Eucheuma cottonii is a red seaweed rich in carrageenan, widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. ZanQue cultivates it sustainably, ensuring high-quality output that supports coastal farmers and global eco-conscious industries.

Eucheuma spinosum

Eucheuma spinosum is another red seaweed variety cultivated by ZanQue, known for its softer carrageenan content. It's ideal for personal care and food products, and its farming contributes to marine health and local livelihoods.
