Overview of Phlorotannins’ Constituents in Fucales [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2022
Fucales are an order within the Phaeophyceae that include most of the common littoral seaweeds in temperate and subtropical coastal regions. Many species of this order have long been a part of human culture with applications as food, feedand remedies in ...
