By using spray dry method, seaweed powders have gel strength, gelling point, and melting point higher than those of sun dry method which may due to the effect of high temperature (160 °C), while by using sun dry method, it gave higher proximate content and viscosity than those of spray dry method. These results are useful for selecting suitable drying method depending on the physicochemical properties of the kappahycus alvarezii powder.enkappahycus alvarezii powderphysicochemicalproximateUR-Proceedings
