Algal Polysaccharides and Their Function as Dietary Fiber
Original language description
Algal products became popular as functional foods and nutraceuticals due to presence of many bioactive compounds. Algal polysaccharides are mainly crucial komponent of their cell walls, and many of them have many biological functions. In this paper, values of dietary fiber in freshwater green alga ? Chlorella pyrenoidosa (Chlorophyta) and blue-green alga ? Spirulina pacifica (Cyanobacteria), and six seaweeds ? Palmaria palmata and Porphyra tenera (Rhodophyta), Eisenia bicyclis, Hizikia fusiformis, Laminaria japonica and Undaria pinnatifida (Phaeophyceae) were studied by different analytical methods. The brown seaweed products were established as a higher source of dietary fiber than freshwater algal products. Algal polysaccharides are mostly responsible for enormous capacity of algae to absorb toxic elements, for that reason Pb, Cd and Hg were also determined. In all samples, toxic elements were presented in very low concentrations that did not exceed French limits: <= 5.0 mg.kg-1 dw f
