Comparison of marine macrophytes for their contributions to blue carbon sequestration

, 2015
Many marine ecosystems have the capacity for long-term storage of organic carbon (C) in what are termed "blue carbon" systems. While blue carbon systems (saltmarsh, mangrove, and seagrass) are efficient at long-term sequestration of organic ...

Unravelling Rheology and Structural Properties of Polysaccharides from Porphyridium Purpureum After Alkali Pre‐Treatment

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
Porphyridium purpureum polysaccharides are established hydrocolloids among several microalgal biomolecules, however they only exhibit higher viscosity without gelling capacity. Therefore, this study chose to employ alkali pretreatment to Porphyridium purpureum to investigate whether controlled chemical modification could alter the molecular structure ...

Sulfated galactans ameliorate the cellular senescence in dermal fibroblast cells

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Replicative senescence of dermal fibroblast is the primary mechanism of intrinsic skin aging. Recent research has focused on the different properties of sulfated galactans (SG) derived from the red seaweed Gracilaria fisheri.

Chewable Soft Gelatin Capsules: Design and Formulation Strategies for a Patient‐Preferred Dosage Alternative

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.
Chewable softgels are a patient‐preferred alternative to conventional oral forms, offering pleasant taste, fast onset, and suitability for children or patients with swallowing difficulties. However, they present relevant challenges in their formulation: the shell must balance chewability, machinability, and stability, while the fill must mask the ...

Characterization of two immunomodulating homogalacturonan pectins from green tea [PDF]

, 2014
Two natural homogalacturonan (HG) pectins (MW ca. 20 kDa) were isolated from green tea based on their immunomodulatory activity. The crude tea polysaccharides (TPS1 and TPS2) were obtained from green tea leaves by hot water extraction and followed by 40%

Microwave-assisted extraction of sulfated polysaccharides(fucoidan)from brown seaweed [PDF]

, 2011
Sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan) were recovered from brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). Different conditions of pressure (30 to 120 psi), extraction time (1 to 31 min), and alga/water ratio (1/25 to 5/25 g ml-1 ...

Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 56-72, January 2026.
Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,
