Profiling of the Molecular Weight and Structural Isomer Abundance of Macroalgae-Derived Phlorotannins
Phlorotannins are a group of complex polymers of phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) unique to macroalgae. These phenolic compounds are integral structural components of the cell wall in brown algae, but also play many secondary ecological roles such as protection from UV radiation and defense...
