Algae as nutritional and functional food sources: revisiting our understanding (2016, unknown): “In general, protein in most algae is digested less completely than reference proteins such as casein (a milk protein) in in vitro model systems containing digestive enzymes such as pepsin, pronase, and pancreatin, with evidence that this is due especially to inhibitory soluble fibers (e.g., Fujiwara”

Nutrient and heavy metal content of edible seaweeds in New Zealand (2010, background): “However, the dietary fibre component of seaweeds can interfere with absorption in the gut, reducing the digestibility of many dietary components, including protein and minerals (Urbano & Goni 2002 ).”
