Abstract:
A method is for the extraction of a phytochemical, e.g., peptide or protein, or a chemical element from a macroalgae, by applying pulsed electric field (PEF)- or continuous electric field (CEF)-treatment to the macroalgae in a solvent, under pressure higher than the ambient pressure. A device and system carry out this method.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein:\n (i) said PEF treatment is non-thermal PEF treatment; or (ii) said PEF treatment is homogeneously distributed in said solvent; or (iii) said PEF treatment electroporates the cells of said macroalgae, optionally causing both opening of the membrane of said macroalgae cells and configuration changes in the extracellular matrix of said macroalgae, thus causing extraction of said phytochemical from said macroalgae cells into said solvent; or (iv) said pressure is from about 1 to about 10 atmospheres; or (v) said pressure is constant during said PEF treatment, or said pressure varies during said PEF treatment; or (vi) said solvent is an inorganic solvent such as fresh water, tap water, saline or salt water; or an organic solvent such as acetic acid, acetone, acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, t-butyl alcohol, hexane, cyclohexane, chlorobenzene, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, benzene, or a combination thereof; or (vii) the temperature developed in the solvent during said PEF treatment is in a range of 25\u00b0 C.-90\u00b0 C., 25\u00b0 C.-70\u00b0 C., 25\u00b0 C.-60\u00b0 C., or 25\u00b0 C.-50\u00b0 C.; or (viii) said macroalgae is dried, semidried or wet macroalgae.
