When the blurry red seaweed is freeze-dried, powdered and sprinkled as a garnish on a cow’s meal, bromoform blocks carbon and hydrogen atoms from forming methane in the stomach.

It is imperative that the bromine used should be pure, as crude bromine frequently contains bromoform.

Heated with bromine water to 120°C. it decomposes into bromoform, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and pyridine.

Asparagopsis and other types of seaweed have specialized gland cells that make and store bromoform, an organic compound.

The mixture is then heated on the water bath under a reflux condenser until the bromoform is completely decomposed.
