Sulfated Polysaccharides in the Hallmarks of Metabolic Syndrome: Functions and Mechanisms

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
The SPs sources are very diverse, including various fishes, sea cucumbers, seaweeds, etc. These SPs are able to improve the glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, hormonal dysregulation, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, complications, and gut homeostasis of MetS by regulating biochemical indicators related to MetS. ABSTRACT Metabolic syndrome (

Temporal patterns of fucoxanthin in four species of European marine brown macroalgae

Scientific Reports, 2023
Brown seaweeds are a rich source of carotenoids, particularly fucoxanthin, which has a wide range of potential health applications. Fucoxanthin fluctuates within and among seaweeds over time, frustrating efforts to utilise this resource. Thus, we require

Fuc‐S, a New Degraded Polysaccharide From Fucoidan, Alleviates Type 2 Diabetes‐Associated Liver Injury Through Modulating Gut Microbiota

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Fuc‐S alleviated type 2 diabetes‐associated liver injury through gut microbiota‐SCFA‐liver axis regulation. Fuc‐S treatment significantly improved glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism, and liver function, while reducing hepatic steatosis and serum ALT/AST levels. Fuc‐S reinforced intestinal barrier integrity by upregulating tight junction proteins (ZO‐1

Phenotypic variation of Fucus ceranoides, F. spiralis and F. vesiculosus in a temperate coast (NW Portugal) [PDF]

, 2009
Brown algae includes several species of Fucus, reported both in the tidal and intertidal zones of cold and temperate regions. Environmental parameters induce wide biological variability in intertidal algae, manifested by alterations at several levels ...

Shift happens: trailing edge contraction associated with recent warming trends threatens a distinct genetic lineage in the marine macroalga Fucus vesiculosus [PDF]

, 2013
Significant effects of recent global climate change have already been observed in a variety of ecosystems, with evidence for shifts in species ranges, but rarely have such consequences been related to the changes in the species genetic pool.

Assessment of Marine Microalgae's Bioactive Extracts Potential for Food Applications

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 2, 29 January 2026.
Extracts were obtained from Dunaliella and Pavlova microalgae using water and ethanol as solvents, combined with bead milling and osmotic shock strategies. The extracts were characterised in terms of protein, pigments, and phenolic compounds, and their potential for food applications was evaluated.

The structure of fucoidan by linkage analysis tailored for fucose in four algae species: Fucus serratus, Fucus evanescens, Fucus vesiculosus and Laminaria hyperborea

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Linkage analysis after permethylation allows the determination of the linkage patterns between monomers in complex polysaccharides. Fucoidan is a heteropolysaccharide found in algae that is derivatised with sulphate groups.

Sex-biased gene expression in the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus [PDF]

, 2013
Background The fucoid brown algae (Heterokontophyta, Phaeophyceae) are increasingly the focus of ecological genetics, biodiversity, biogeography and speciation research. The molecular genetics underlying mating system variation, where repeated dioecious

From Sea to Sweet: Seaweed's Role in Nutritious and Sustainable Confectionery

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Seaweed is increasingly recognized as a multifunctional ingredient in confectionery products, owing to its exceptional nutritional profile, functional properties, and environmental sustainability. This review highlights the integration of seaweed and seaweed‐derived compounds into a wide range of confectioneries, including chocolates, puddings,
