Characterization of ulvan extracts to assess the effect of different steps in t...
Carina Costa; Anabela Alves; Paula C R. Pinto; Rui A. Sousa; Eduardo A. Borges da Silva; Rui L. Reis; Alírio E. RodriguesAn effective application development of the polysaccharide ulvan requires a comprehensive knowledge about the influence of the extraction process on composition of the extracts and in ulvan itself. In this context, the two main objectives of the present work are (1) the establishment of an efficient extraction process for ulvan and (2) development of an accurate characterization methodology to evaluate the extr...
