Two polysaccharide fractions isolated from Hypnea musciformis after room temperature- and hot water extraction, soluble after KCl precipitation of the more abundant carrageenans, were subfractionated by ion-exchange chromatography eluting with increasing concentrations of NaCl. The lowest NaCl concentration (0.2M) eluted agarans. The dl-hybrids (or mixtures) eluted at intermediate concentration...

Epiphytic filamentous algae (EFA) were noted as a serious problem to reduce the production and quality of K. alvarezii. The morphological studies revealed that the main epiphyte on K. alvarezii was Neosiphonia savatieri in China. Though the harmful effects of EFA on the production of K. alvarezii have been reported, the detailed mechanism of the N. savatieri in limiting the production of K. alv...

The planting method greatly affects the growth and carrageenan content of Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed. In addition, will also affect physico-chemical conditions waters which are closely related to K. alvarezii. This study aims determine appropriate seaweed cultivation so that it can be used as a reference for farmers pay more attention methods in cultivating improve quality begins with observ...

Abstract Kappaphycus alvarezii is one of the two main species seaweed commodities cultivated in Indonesia. K. more popularly known as Eucheuma cottonii , belongs to red algae. This most important commercial sources carrageenans, a family gel-forming, viscosifying polysaccharides. Carrageenans are used gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agents variety applications, especially food products suc...

Kappaphycus alvarezii adalah alga merah yang memiliki kandungan karaginan. Pemutusan tali pengikat K. dengan cara menarik saat pemanenan mengakibatkan talus patah. Talus patah akan mengeluarkan getah berkandungan Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan karakteristik karaginan berdasar keutuhan dipanen. utuh, dan campuran diperoleh pelepasan rumput laut dari pengikat. Tahapan ekstraksi melipu...
