Antioxidant Activities of Enzymatic Extracts From Brown Seaweeds
Bioresource Technology, 2005Potential antioxidative activities of enzymatic extracts from seven species of brown seaweeds were evaluated using four different reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging assays containing DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl) free radical, superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay.

Characterization of polysaccharides extracted from brown seaweeds
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2007Abstract The structural characteristics of polysaccharides extracted from Quebec’s seaweed have not been fully established to date. Ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus vesiculosus and Saccharina longicruris were studied in this research. The seaweeds were treated with selective solvents to extract laminaran and fucoidan in mixture (fraction A), fucoidan ...

Brown Seaweed Extracts (Alginates)
2022Alginates, or algin, is a generic term for the salts and derivatives of alginic acid. This acidic polysaccharide or gum occurs as the insoluble mixed calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium salt in the Phaeophyceae, brown seaweeds. Brown seaweed has been used as a food for centuries but the discovery of algin did not occur until about 1880.

Flowering Gene Regulation in Tomato Plants Treated With Brown Seaweed Extracts
Scientia Horticulturae, 2021Abstract Liquid extracts of several seaweeds possess great potential as biostimulants for use in agricultural plants. Numerous studies have provided evidence of improved growth and yield parameters in crop plants treated with seaweed extracts. Still, there is a shortage of information available on the mechanisms of action of these extracts on plant ...

Rheological characterisation of polysaccharides extracted from brown seaweeds
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2007AbstractHydrocolloids from seaweeds have interesting functional properties, such as thickening or gelling ability. Structural characteristics of polysaccharides extracted from Québec seaweeds have not yet been established. Thus, the determination of the relationship between their structure and rheological behaviour is limited.

Dietary Brown Seaweed Extract Supplementation in Small Ruminants
2019Brown seaweed (BSW; Ascophyllum nodosum) extract supplement has been reported to positively affect antioxidant activity, vitamin E status, immune cell response, and carcass characteristics in farm animals. Preharvest diet containing BSW has also been reported to reduce fecal shedding of E. coli and other enteric bacteria in livestock.

Extraction and characterization of an alginate from the Iranian brown seaweed Nizimuddinia zanardini
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018Sodium alginate from Nizimuddinia zanardini (an Iranian brown algae) was extracted with acid and alkaline solutions, partially and totally hydrolyzed and analyzed for its biochemical composition. 1H NMR spectroscopy, SEC-MALLS, HPAEC and FT-IR were performed to determine its structure and its physico-chemical properties.
