A Key Step in Phlorotannin Biosynthesis Revealed [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2013
Phlorotannins are a diverse set of polymers synthesized by brown algae, but their physiological functions are not well understood. They are structurally analogous to terrestrial plant tannins and are proposed to be important in cell wall structure, UV protection, and defense against herbivores ([

Structure dependent antioxidant capacity of phlorotannins from Icelandic Fucus vesiculosus by UHPLC-DAD-ECD-QTOFMS [PDF]

, 2018
Brown algae are rich in polyphenolic compounds, phlorotannins, which have been found to possess high in vitro antioxidant capacity, especially DPPH radical scavenging activity, due to the high number of hydroxyl groups.
