1. What is Fucoidan? |
 |
 |
Fucoidan is a water solved food fiber as a constituent of the "sliminess" which is contained in sea vegetables such as
Mozuku (Cladosiphon okamuranus) and Mekabu (a pleated section of wakame).
The chemical component of Fucoidan is a general term referring to a group of polysaccharides containing sulfated fucose. Professor Kylin.H.Z of Swedish Uppsala University discovered Fucoidan in a slimy ingredient of Kombu in 1913, but named Fucoidin in those days. After that, it started to be called Fucoidan by the international glucide naming agreement. |
