Sea lettuces which draw from the sea contain wealth of mineral elements (Table 5.4). Calcium, one of the most important minerals essential for human body, is accumulated in sea lettuces at a higher level compared with milk, brown rice, spinach, peanuts, and lentils (MacArtain et ah, 2007). Calcium contents in Ulva lactuca, Ulva reticulata, Ulva fasciata were 32.5, 147, and 0.47 mg/100 g edible portion, respectively. Moreover, potassium and sodium are known as electrolytes because their ability to dissociate into positively and negatively charged ions when dissolved in water. Potassium is the major cation of intracellular fluid. Together with sodium, it maintains normal water balance. In addition, potassium also promotes cellular growth and maintains normal blood pressure. Potential source of potassium is Ulva reticulata, which contains 1540 mg potassium per 100 g edible portion (Ratana-arpom and Chirapart, 2006).
