Table 6.

Swelling capacity (SWC), water holding capacity (WHC) and oil holding capacity (OHC) of G. corticata and G. edulis.

Seaweeds	SWC (mL/g)		WHC (g/g)		OHC (g/g)
	25 °C	37 °C	25 °C	37 °C	25 °C	37 °C
G. corticata	7.90 ± 0.32 bA	5.70 ± 0.65 bB	4.03 ± 0.39	3.96 ± 0.58	2.06 ± 0.24	1.84 ± 0.40
G. edulis	8.66 ± 0.53 aA	7.70 ± 0.6 aB	4.09 ± 0.32	3.64 ± 0.40	1.87 ± 0.28	1.91 ± 0.18

Values are mean ± standard deviation, n = 3 on dry weight basis. ^a–b values with different superscripts within the same column are significantly different between seaweeds. ^A–B values with different superscripts within the same line shows significant differences between temperatures.
