This is consistent with the position paper [[https://www.what-are-algae.com/|What are algae]] by [[https://www.eaba-association.eu/|EABA]]. It covers:
  
   * __Macroalgae__ (seaweeds): multicellular marine and freshwater algae including brown algae (//Phaeophyta//, e.g. kelp, //Fucus//, //Ascophyllum//), red algae (//Rhodophyta//, e.g. //Porphyra//, //Gracilaria//, //Gelidium//) and green algae (//Chlorophyta//, e.g. //Ulva//, //Caulerpa//).   * __Macroalgae__ (seaweeds): multicellular marine and freshwater algae including brown algae (//Phaeophyta//, e.g. kelp, //Fucus//, //Ascophyllum//), red algae (//Rhodophyta//, e.g. //Porphyra//, //Gracilaria//, //Gelidium//) and green algae (//Chlorophyta//, e.g. //Ulva//, //Caulerpa//).

   * __Pigments, proteins, lipids and other high-value fractions__: carotenoids (astaxanthin, β-carotene, fucoxanthin, lutein), phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin, phycoerythrin), polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA, DHA), polysaccharides and others.   * __Pigments, proteins, lipids and other high-value fractions__: carotenoids (astaxanthin, β-carotene, fucoxanthin, lutein), phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin, phycoerythrin), polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA, DHA), polysaccharides and others.
-  * __Detergents and household products__, __textiles__ and other emerging industrial applications.+  * __Other industrial applications__, textiles, detergents, biocides and other emerging applications.
  
 Processing methods are also within scope where legislation depends on the form or process: intact cells versus disrupted cells, fresh versus dried biomass, extracts produced by specific solvents, or fractions produced by biorefinery processes. Processing methods are also within scope where legislation depends on the form or process: intact cells versus disrupted cells, fresh versus dried biomass, extracts produced by specific solvents, or fractions produced by biorefinery processes.
