The system of galactans of the red seaweed, Kappaphycus alvarezii, with emphasis on its minor constituents
The hot-water extract from Kappaphycus alvarezii is composed of 74% of κ-carrageenans, 3% of μ-carrageenans, and 14% of sulfated agarans and dl-hybrid galactans with significant amounts of single stubs. The great tendency to retain Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ was studied. The galactans extracted with hot water...
