Cystoseira myrica: from beach-cast seaweed to fucoidan with antioxidant and anticoagulant capacity
Manel Dhahri
Abstract:This study highlights the potential of the brown algae Cystoseira myrica, collected from raw beach seaweed wastes, as a reliable source of bioactive fucoidan. Fucoidans are natural bioactive sulfated polysaccharides that are gaining popularity worldwide due to their diverse biochemical composition, attractive physical properties, and functional pharmacological activities. The aim of this work is to valorize the beach-Accumulated brown algae C. myrica by fucoidan extraction and to investigate its anticoagulant … Show more
