Description 1857-1869
A multitude of marine organisms, including shellfish,
sponge, seaweed, marine fungi, microalgae, and corals, are very efficient
sources of polysaccharides with number of interesting functional properties.
Marine-based polysaccharides as the counterparts of terrestrial animals have
great potential to be used for food processing, long-term storage, and
fortification, as well as in medicine industry as carriers of drugs and as
nutraceuticals. This review will encounter the recent findings on the different
mechanisms of anti-viral actions of marine polysaccharides. Their potential for
therapeutic application is also summarized to a certain level. The potential
food applications of marine polysaccharides along with their chemical nature is
discussed in later half. This review covers a significant amount of vital
information on the chemistry and biological potential of the bioactive
brominated compounds, heterocyclics (nitrogen and nitrogen-sulphur) and
sulfated polysaccharides isolated from marine algae, fungi and bacteria.
