The aim of the center is to develop and promote the seaweed industry and to disseminate their technologies to fisher folks. Generally, the activities done by the author involve the seaweed culture in the laboratory, farming of G. hetroclada, extraction of agar phycocoloid from the G. hetroclada and application of seaweed to different food products. Specifically, the author experienced the tissue culture of G. firma, branch culture of E. denticulatum, K. Alvarezii and G. heteroclada, agar extraction from G. heteroclada using native and ATCC method, farming of G. heteroclada in the Sorsogon Bay, morphological identification of seaweeds and producing newly developed products out of seaweeds such as gulaman letche flan, seaweed brownies, seaweeds cookies, seaweed macaroons, seaweed choco-crinkles and seaweeds steamed-puto. Strengths of the center include adequate facilities, adequate budget for research and projects and the geographical location of the province where the center is located. Its weaknesses comprise "Dole-out" projects, transportation difficulty and not well utilized equipment and facilities. | |
