Structural analysis of carrageenan from farmed varieties of Philippine seaweed
Kappaphycus alvarezii, Eucheuma denticulatum and, more recently, Kappaphycus sp. ‘Sacol’ variety, are the carrageenan-containing red seaweeds currently farmed in the Philippines. The Kappaphycus sp. ‘Sacol’ variety is of particular interest to the Philippine seaweed industry because of its improved...
