Title: Isolation,Purification and Structural Analysis of Fucoidan from Kelp
Abstract: A homogeneous polysaccharide named as TC-1 was obtained from kelp by DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration chromatography.Its chemical structure was characterized by means of monosaccharide composition analysis,methylation analysis and IR spectroscopic analysis.TC-1 was a complex sulfated polysaccharide with a weight-average molecular weight of 3.7 × 105.TC-1 mainly consisted of fucose and small amounts of xylose,mannose,glucose and galactose were also found.The chain of TC-1 included 1,4-linked or 1,3-linked fucose,1,3-linked xylose,1,3-linked or 1,6-linked mannose,1,3,4-linked or 1,2,4,6-linked glucose,and 1,6-linked,1,3,6-linked,or 1,3,4,6-linked galactose.
