    Edible seaweeds are a good source of antioxidants, dietary fibers, essential amino acids, vitamins, phytochemicals, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and minerals. Many studies have evaluated the gelling, thickening and therapeutic properties of seaweeds when they are used individually. This review gives an overview on the nutritional, textural, sensorial, and health-related properties of food products enriched with seaweeds and seaweed extracts. The effect of seaweed incorporation on properties of meat, fish, bakery, and other food products were highlighted in depth. Moreover, the positive effects of foods enriched with seaweeds and seaweed extracts on different lifestyle diseases such as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes were also discussed. The results of the studies demonstrated that the addition of seaweeds, in powder or extract form, can improve the nutritional and textural properties of food products. Additionally, low-fat products with less calories and less saturated fatty acids can be prepared using seaweeds. Moreover, the addition of seaweeds also affected the health properties of food products. The results of these studies demonstrated that the health value, shelf-life and overall quality of foods can be improved through the addition of either seaweeds or seaweed extracts.

    This study examined the impact of pre-acidification induction on the quality attributes and flavor retention of ready-to-cook (RTC) goose meat products. The results demonstrated that pre-acidification could influence the eating qualities of RTC goose meat by effectively regulating the physicochemical properties of goose myofibrillar proteins (MP) including solubility and water-holding capacity. Elevated carbonyl contents indicated an enhanced gel-forming capacity in RTC goose meat during storage, accompanied with reduced total sulfhydryl contents from enhanced protonation pretreatment and augmented lipid oxidation. Structural characterization of MP via sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and intrinsic fluorescence revealed the formation of a dense protein matrix under highly acidic conditions. Furthermore, the headspace concentration of aldehydes increased by 3.23 times upon enhancing the pre-acidification intensity, resulting in the production of esters and acidic flavor compounds with favorable aromas. Correlation analysis demonstrated the dependence of headspace concentrations of volatile constituents on the acidification-enhanced surface hydrophobicity of MP, attributed to the modified binding sites of proteins after pre-acidification. Current results have indicated both the positive and negative influence of pre-acidulation induction on the eating quality of goose meat products, suggesting the necessity of introducing extra processes to modulate the quality of prefabricated products.
