This study establishes a universal nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor of 5 for seaweeds, based on a systematic analysis of existing literature. The research highlights inaccuracies in current methods of protein determination, particularly the overestimation caused by the commonly used factor of 6.25. By consolidating data from 236 studies, the authors aim to provide a reliable standard for assessing the protein content of seaweed biomass, which is crucial for its applications in nutrition and bioenergy.
