I would like to express my gratitude to Nofima, in particular the Marine Bioprospecting group for allowing me to work with such an interesting field and continuous encouragement throughout the year. Especially thanks to my supervisors Tor Haug, Jan Arne Arnesen and Kjetil Elvevold. Enough cannot be said to thank Jan Arne and Kjetil for all the guidance and encouragement they have given me throughout the year, helping me with lab work and analysis, for always answering my many emails and making everyday fun. Thanks to Tor for wanting to go through another round of being my supervisor, for great guidance in writing and expertise in phlorotannins. I would also like to thank Runar Gjerp Solstad for great help with the chromatography methods, Ida Kristine Østnes Hansen for her expertise during the phlorotannin characterization and Kjersti Lian for reading and giving me feedback on my thesis. I have to give a special thanks to my family and friends for their constant support and encouragement (and for pretending to understand what I have been talking about for the last year). Most of all, I would like to thank Elmedina for always putting a smile on my face during stressful times and long hours at the library, for her continuous understanding, ideas and encouragement. Special thanks to Marthe and Christina for taking the time to read my thesis. Tromsø, May 2021 Ingrid Maribu I Abstract Marine environments contain half of the global biodiversity and are a major source of bioactive compounds. Macroalgae are vital species in marine ecosystems and are known to produce several bioactive compounds and polysaccharides that possesses several bioactivities. These molecules are traditionally extracted using methods that heavily rely on hazardous solvents and heat, that more importantly generates waste and emissions. Sustainability has gained worldwide attention and has led scientists to explore more environmentally friendly extraction methods that have a lower environmental impact. The main goal of this thesis was to compare the fucoidan yield of a conventional method against a new, greener extraction method (enzyme- assisted extraction, EAE) from two species of brown macroalgae commonly found in Norway: Ascophyllum nodosum and Saccharina latissima. In addition, the polyphenol/phlorotannin, alginate and monomeric sugars content was analyzed. The chemical extraction (CE) method was conducted at 80 C for 4 hours with 0.1 M HCl. It was tested three different enzymes (Depol692, Depol 793 and Cellulase 13), in addition to a control sample were tested and compared in EAE. The EAE method was conducted at 50 C for 3 hours with pH 5. The polyphenol/phlorotannin content was analyzed after lyophilization, while the carbohydrate-, L- fucose- and alginate content in the macroalgae were analyzed using two different methods of acid hydrolysis. The CE method resulted in a general higher fucose and carbohydrate yield from A. nodosum, indicating higher release of fucoidan and other polysaccharides compared to EAE. However, limited amounts of polyphenols/phlorotannins were detected in the samples after CE, indicating that the process may be harmful for the compounds. In contrast, the extraction yield of polyphenols/phlorotannins after EAE was good. In general, CE resulted in the higher extraction yield of fucoidan, compared to EAE. None of the enzymes used in this study showed a high efficiency compared to the control or CE. However, all enzymes showed potential in degrading the algal cell wall, but further studies are needed to make thorough conclusions on this potential.

Abstract: Phlorotannins are polyphenolic compounds produced via polymerization of phloroglucinol, and these compounds have varying molecular weights (up to 650 kDa). Brown seaweeds are rich in phlorotannins compounds possessing various biological activities, including algicidal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer activities. Many review papers on the chemical characterization and quantification of phlorotannins and their functionality have been published to date. However, although studies on the safety and toxicity of these phlorotannins have been conducted, there have been no articles reviewing this topic. In this review, the safety and toxicity of phlorotannins in different organisms are discussed. Online databases (Science Direct, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science) were searched, yielding 106 results.

  • Biomarkers of Seaweed Intake Muyao Xi* and Lars O
    Xi and Dragsted Genes & Nutrition (2019) 14:24 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12263-019-0648-4 REVIEW Open Access Biomarkers of seaweed intake Muyao Xi* and Lars O. Dragsted Abstract Seaweeds are marine macroalgae, some of which are edible. They are rich in specific dietary fibers and also contain other characteristic biological constituents. Biological activities have been investigated mainly in animal studies, while very few results are available from human studies. Biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) specific to seaweed could play an important role as objective measurements in observational studies and dietary intervention studies. Thus, the health effects of seaweeds can be explored and understood by discovering and applying BFIs. This review summarizes studies to identify candidate BFIs of seaweed intake. These BFIs are evaluated by a structured validation scheme. Hydroxytrifuhalol A, 7-hydroxyeckol, C-O-C dimer of phloroglucinol, diphloroethol, fucophloroethol, dioxinodehydroeckol, and/or their glucuronides or sulfate esters which all belong to the phlorotannins are considered candidate biomarkers for brown seaweed. Fucoxanthinol, the main metabolite of fucoxanthin, is also regarded as a candidate biomarker for brown seaweed. Further validation will be needed due to the very limited number of human studies. Further studies are also needed to identify additional candidate biomarkers, relevant specifically for the red and green seaweeds, for which no candidate biomarkers emerged from the literature search. Reliable BFIs should also ideally be found for the whole seaweed food group. Keywords: Biomarkers of food intake, Food exposure marker, Dietary assessment, Seaweed, Macroalgae Introduction originate from a variety of seaweed compounds, such as Seaweeds or macroalgae, including species of brown, soluble fiber and carotenoids [6, 11–15].

These macroalgae are endowed with several phytochemicals of great industrial interest from which phlorotannins, a class of marine-exclusive polyphenols, have gathered much attention during the last few years due to their numerous possible therapeutic properties. These compounds are very abundant in brown seaweeds such as Fucaceae and have been demonstrated to possess numerous health-promoting properties, including antioxidant effects through scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or enhancement of intracellular antioxidant defenses, antidiabetic properties through their acarbose-like activity, stimulation of adipocytes glucose uptake and protection of β-pancreatic cells against high-glucose oxidative stress; anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of several pro-inflammatory mediators; antitumor properties by activation of apoptosis on cancerous cells and metastasis inhibition, among others. These multiple health properties render phlorotannins great potential for application in numerous therapeutical approaches.

This study aims to select and identify the main phlorotannin components from this seaweed which have been previously associated with potential health benefits. Methods to enrich phenolic components then further select phlorotannin components from ethanolic extracts of Ascophyllum nodosum were applied. The composition and phenolic diversity of these extracts were defined using data dependent liquid chromatography mass spectroscopic (LC-MSn) techniques. A series of phlorotannin oligomers with apparent degree of polymerization (DP) from 10 to 31 were enriched by solid phase extraction and could be selected by fractionation on Sephadex LH-20. Evidence was also obtained for the presence of dibenzodioxin linked phlorotannins as well as sulphated phlorotannins and phenolic acids. As well as diversity in molecular size, there was evidence for potential isomers at each DP. MS2 fragmentation analyses strongly suggested that the phlorotannins contained ether linked phloroglucinol units and were most likely fucophlorethols and MS3 data suggested that the isomers may result from branching within the chain.

They are chain‐ and net‐like structures of 27 diverse molecular weights, and have been widely identified in Ecklonia, Eisenia and Ishige species. 28 Since the time they were discovered in the 70s, phlorotannins have been suggested as a main factor 29 responsible for the antimicrobial activities attributed to algae extracts. Currently, cumulative in vitro 30 and in vivo research evidence the diverse bioactivities of phlorotannin extracts ‐such as antidiabetic, 31 anticancer and antibacterial‐ pointing out their potential pharmacological and food applications.
