Study of phenolic-polysaccharide interactions in brown seaweed

open access: yesFood Chemistry
Brown seaweed has a rich source of bioactives, notably antioxidative phenolic compounds and sulphated polysaccharides. Despite their importance, the interactions between these compounds and their resultant antioxidant activities have not been extensively studied.

Bioenergy from brown seaweeds

open access: yes, 2000
Brown seaweeds lack lignin and have a low cellulose content. Thus, seaweeds should be an easier material for biological degradation than land plants. However, seaweeds have a complex composition, and complete degradation of the material necessitates the presence of microorganisms with a broad substrate range.

Carbohydrates of the brown seaweeds

Carbohydrate Research, 1974
Abstract Mannitol, sucrose, and laminitol have been isolated from ethanolic extracts of the brown seaweed Desmarestia aculeata and characterised, and rhamnose, sedoheptulose, glucose, fructose, and 2- O -methyl- and 3- O -methyl-fucose have been identified by their chromatographic mobilities and g.l.c. retention times. Laminarin, alginic acid, and “

Hemagglutinins in brown seaweeds

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1986
Abstract Twenty-eight brown seaweeds contain agglutinins that show activity against animal and human erythrocytes. Three brown seaweeds are described whose hemagglutinic activity has not been previously reported: Ectocarpus confervoides, Giffordia granulosa and Cutleria multifida.

Particulate organohalogens in edible brown seaweeds

Food Chemistry, 2019
Brown algae, rich in antioxidants and other bioactive compounds, are important dietary seaweeds in many cultures. Like other marine macroalgae, brown seaweeds are known to accumulate the halogens iodine and bromine. Comparatively little is known about the chemistry of chlorine in seaweeds.

Conservation genomics of a critically endangered brown seaweed

Journal of Phycology, 2021
Seaweeds provide valuable ecosystem services, but many are undergoing global decline due to climate and anthropogenic stressors. The brown macroalga, Nereia lophocladia (hereafter called Nereia), is among only a handful of seaweeds globally to be listed as critically endangered and is only described from two known locations, but there exists little ...

Fucoidan, a brown seaweed polysaccharide in nanodrug delivery

Drug Delivery and Translational Research, 2023
Fucoidan-a sulfated marine seaweed obtained from brown algae-has raised considerable interest in the scientific community over the last decade as it possesses a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anticarcinogenic, and immunoregulatory.

Antioxidant Activity of Brown Seaweeds

Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology, 2016
ABSTRACTAntioxidant potential of three brown seaweeds, Anthophycus longifolius, Sargassum plagiophyllum, and Sargassum myriocystum, obtained from the Gulf of Mannar region of India were evaluated utilizing different in vitro systems. Ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction of Anthophycus longifolius registered significantly greater hydroxyl radical scavenging ...
