In the last decades, the discovery of metabolites from marine resources showing biological
activity has increased significantly. Among marine resources, seaweed is a valuable source …

Seaweed is more than the wrap that keeps rice together in sushi. Seaweed biomass is
already used for a wide range of other products in food, including stabilising agents …

Marine algae contain large amounts of polysaccharides, notably cell wall structural, but also
mycopolysaccharides and storage polysaccharides (Kumar et al. 2008b; Murata and …

Sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan) were recovered from brown seaweed Fucus
vesiculosus by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). Different conditions of pressure (30 …

Marine floras, such as bacteria, actinobacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, microalgae, seaweeds,
mangroves, and other halophytes are extremely important oceanic resources, constituting …

Dietary Laminaria and Porphyra sp. have been reported to reduce the risk of intestinal or
mammary cancer in animal studies. Algal anticarcinogenicity may involve effects on cell …

Due to the severe side-effects and the toxicity to healthy tissues, cancer treatments based in
chemotherapy have not fully achieved the desire outcomes so far. The use of natural …

The anticoagulant and antiproliferative effects of low molecular weight fucans with different
sulfate content were examined. The anticoagulant activity was determined by activated …

Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from an edible brown alga Undaria pinnatifida,
was previously shown to be a potent inhibitor of the in vitro replication of herpes simplex …

The edible red seaweed Eucheuma cottonii is abundantly cultivated for carrageenan
production. This study investigated the effects of dietary E. cottonii polyphenol-rich extract …
