Use of FTIR, FT-Raman and 13C-NMR spectroscopy for identification of some seaweed phycocolloids

Many seaweeds produce phycocolloids, stored in the cell wall. Members of the Rhodophyceae produce polysaccharides the main components of which are galactose (galactans)--agar and carrageenan. In addition, alginic acid is extracted from members of the Phaeophyceae. This is a binary polyuronide made u...
