Chemical properties

Behavior with other polymers


Fucoidan causes collagen gels to contract [2].


Desulfation of fucoidan (solvolytic)


LMWF dissolved in DMSO, MeOH, pyridine (89:10:1, v/v/v) is heated to 100 °C for 2 h. After cooling, demin. water was added (9 g water to 2 g LMWF) and the solution neutralized [8].
