Abstract
Macroalgae are a complex biomass conformed of unique compounds with high value-added potential for applications in diverse areas such as pharmaceutical, medical, food, material, and biofuel. The pretreatment conditions for macroalgae fractionation into target molecules are essential to remain relevant biological and chemical properties including antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, antiproliferative, antitumoral, anticoagulant, antioxidant, and gelation activities. Therefore, green technologies such as hydrothermal processes using different heating sources as microwaves, conduction-convection under high-pressure systems, and steam explosion have been recently studied to evaluate the efficiency of this process taking into account the effect over the environment and the economic viability. The present overview describes and discusses the most recent and relevant studies based on hydrothermal processes over the extraction of high value-added and bioactive compounds from macroalgae sources.
