Heterofucans from the Brown Seaweed Canistrocarpus cervicornis with Anticoagulant and Antioxidant Activities

Marine Drugs, 2011
Fucan is a term used to denominate a family of sulfated polysaccharides rich in sulfated L-fucose. We extracted six fucans from Canistrocarpus cervicornis by proteolytic digestion followed by sequential acetone precipitation.

Inhibitory effects of fucan sulfates on enzymatic hydrolysis of starch

LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2011
Abstract The effect of fucoidan and its oversulfated derivative on starch digestibility was investigated by determining the enzymatic reaction kinetics and their inhibitory activity against α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. After the α-amylase hydrolysis, the produced reducing sugars of the buckwheat starch (BW, 2.0–3.0 g/100 mL) and those of the ...
