Description 195-196
Young plants of S. ilicifolium and S. myriocystum appear in April and May reach the maximum size in September or October. Alginic acid yield varies with the seasonal growth behaviour of these alginophytes, with maximum yield in July or August. Alginic acid content varies from 22.3 to 30.8% in S. myriocystum. Mannitol content ranges from 2 to 5 and 1.3 to 5% in S. ilicifolium and S. myriocystum respectively. The suitable harvesting period for getting the maximum yield of alginic acid appears to be between July and September.
