Abstract

High quality of purified alginate and fucoidan is required for the medical uses to prevent the unexpected side effects from the contaminated endotoxin present in the materials. We attempted to establish an efficient and fast mass scale production method for the highly purified poly-G alginate from the sea weeds. In addition, lab scale method was established to obtain the fraction of higher purity from the commercially available fucoidan source (about 85% purity).
