The Influence of Microwave Radiation on the Efficiency of the Cellulose Isolation from the Biomass of Brown Seaweed (Laminaria digitata)

Using an enhanced conventional procedure combined with microwave radiation, cellulose was extracted from the biomass of brown seaweed (Laminaria digitata Huds.). This innovative approach has demonstrated significant improvements in efficiency over traditional methods, allowing for the same yield to be achieved in a considerably shorter time and at reduced operating costs. The isolated cellulose exhibits a high purity degree and favorable hydration properties, making it an ideal carrier material for promoting microbial growth and survival.
