Abstract
Alginates comprise a rather broad family of polysaccharides found in brown seaweeds (Laminaria sp., Macrocystis sp., Lessonia sp. and others), from which they are produced industrially. The annual production is estimated to approximately 38.000 tons worldwide.1 In addition, a variety of different al...Keywords
