Fucoidans: Downstream Processes and Recent Applications [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2020 Fucoidans are multifunctional marine macromolecules that are subjected to numerous and various downstream processes during their production. These processes were considered the most important abiotic factors affecting fucoidan chemical skeletons, quality, physicochemical properties, biological properties and industrial applications.

Structural Analysis of Fucoidans [PDF]
Natural Product Communications, 2008 Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (“fucoidans”) constitute a wide variety of biopolymers from simple sulfated fucans up to complex heteropolysaccharides composed of several neutral monosaccharides, uronic acid and sulfate. The increased interest in this class of polysaccharides is explained by their high and versatile biological activities, and ...

Induction of hepatocyte growth factor by fucoidan and fucoidan-derived oligosaccharides
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2008 Abstract Fucoidan, which is extracted from brown seaweed, is a complex sulphated polysaccharide that is mostly composed of l-fucose and sulphated ester groups. The structural and anionic characteristics of fucoidan are similar to those of heparin.
