In this paper, sulfated polysaccharides were extracted from red algae Betaphycus gelatinus species collected at Ninh Thuan sea by using several extraction methods. The structural characteristics of sulfated polysaccharides was investigated by IR and NMR methods. The results indicated that polysaccharide from Betaphycus gelatinus identified as hybrid carrageenan, mainly composed of β-carrageenan, κ-carrageenan and g-carrageenan. Biological activity evaluation showed that the sulfated polysaccharides possessed antioxidant activity with different levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
