Fucoidan is a long chain sulfated polysaccharide found in various species of brown algae. Commercially available fucoidan is commonly extracted from the seaweed species Fucus vesiculosus ( wracks ), Cladosiphon okamuranus , Laminaria japonica ( kombu , sugar kelp) and Undaria pinnatifida ( wakame ).

The brown algae include the largest and fastest growing of seaweeds. [6] Fronds of Macrocystis may grow as much as 50 cm (20 in) per day, and the stipes can grow 6 cm (2.4 in) in a single day. [13] Growth in most brown algae occurs at the tips of structures as a result of divisions in a single apical cell or in a row of such
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
Turbinaria contains fucoxanthin which is a carotenoid pigment found in all brown algae. Its functions lie in the harvesting of light and energy transfer. [4] The genus has high levels of iron (893.7 ± 210.5 g −1 μg dry weight), [20] and has an affinity for arsenic and nickel, depending on the concentrations in the environments in which they ...
See also Fucoidan. Wakame is a rich source of eicosapentaenoic acid , an omega-3 fatty acid . At over 400 mg/(100 kcal) or almost 1 mg/kJ, it has one of the higher nutrient-to-energy ratios for this nutrient, and among the very highest for a vegetarian source. [ 24 ]
Kjellmaniella is a monotypic genus of kelp (large brown algae) comprising the species Kjellmaniella crassifolia, known as kagome (カゴメ/籠目) in Japanese. [5] [6] The species has received attention in recent years for fucoidan content [7] and its multilateral profile of fucoidan chemicals compared to other seaweeds.
A range of microalgae species are produced in hatcheries and are used in a variety of ways for commercial purposes. Studies have estimated main factors in the success of a microalgae hatchery system as the dimensions of the container/bioreactor where microalgae is cultured, exposure to light/irradiation and concentration of cells within the reactor.
