Development of a method for the extraction of polyphenols from Fucus vesiculosus of the of the north seas.

Abstract

The coast of the Arctic seas is rich in reserves of brown algae, which are a source of valuable pharmaceutical substances, in particular polyphenols. The study compared the contents of the total polyphenols of the algae Fucus vesiculosusfrom the Barents, White, Norwegian seas and the Irminger Sea (the western coast of Iceland). A comprehensive extraction technique is proposed and itseffectiveness is shown. Promising areas for the extraction of raw materials with the highest polyphenol content have been identified.
