Sulfated polysaccharides and their lower molecular weight oligosaccharide derivatives from
marine macroalgae have been shown to possess a variety of biological activities. The …

Fucoidan refers to a type of polysaccharide which contains substantial percentages of l-
fucose and sulfate ester groups, mainly derived from brown seaweed. For the past decade …

Fucoidan is a water-soluble, negatively charged, biologically active polysaccharide found in
great abundance in brown marine algae. However, the inhibition of α-amylase and α …

The research field of fucoidans (sulphated polysaccharides from algae) and fucoidanases
was strongly developing in recent years. Several different fucoidans and a few fucoidan …

Pressurized liquids, PLE, and enzyme-assisted extraction, EAE, have been tested to
improve the extraction of phlorotannins from the seaweed Sargassum muticum. Enzymatic …

An unfractionated fucoidan was extracted from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum.
Extraction of fucoidan from seaweed was carried out using an innovative low-chemical …

A fucoidan, Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharide 65 (SFPS65) A, was isolated from a brown
alga (S. fusiforme). SFPS65A had an estimated molecular weight of 90 kDa and showed α D …

Three different fucoidan fractions were isolated and purified from the brown alga,
Sargassum mcclurei. The SmF1 and SmF2 fucoidans are sulfated heteropolysaccharides …

Preparations of sulfated polysaccharides obtained from brown algae are known as
fucoidans. These biopolymers have attracted considerable attention due to many biological …

The methods of isolation of fucoidans and determination of their chemical structures are
reviewed. The fucoidans represent sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae, the …
