Electrospun nanofiber composite mat based on ulvan for wound dressing applications
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2023Wound dressings can be used to create a temporary healing environment and expedite the wound healing process. Ulvan (ULV) is a sulfated polysaccharide with potent antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a hydrophobic biodegradable polyester that exhibits slow degradation, strong mechanical strength, and excellent ...

A Conformational Study on the Algal Polysaccharide Ulvan
Macromolecules, 2002The conformational behavior of the algal polysaccharide ulvan in aqueous solution has been studied. This biopolymer, containing limited regular regions of aldobiuronic sequences made of β-d-glcpA(1→4)-α-l-rhap 3-sulfate and of α-l-idopA(1→4)-α-l-rhap 3-sulfate, can be considered as a low-cost source of rare sugars with a potential impact on several ...

Antioxidant activity of purified ulvan in hyperlipidemic mice
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018Several studies have reported that ulvan from the alga Ulva pertusa (Chlorophyta) exhibits substantial antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic activities; however, which group of heteropolysaccharides play roles in these activities remains unknown. In this study, three purified ulvan (PU1, PU2 and PU3) have been obtained by DEAE-Sepharose fast-flow column ...

Biofunctionalization of Ulvan Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2014Photo-cross-linked ulvan scaffolds were designed with the aim to induce and support enzyme mediated formation of apatite minerals, in the absence of osteogenic growth factors. Scaffold formation with a desired geometry was investigated using chemically modified ulvan bearing radically polymerizable groups.

Members of green macroalgae cause green tides in eutrophicated coastal waters. These green tides pose an environmental issue and an economic burden on coastal municipalities. The biomass from these green tides has a potential to be used as feedstock in biorefinery due to the content of interesting biomacromolecules.
