The influence of brown algae alginates on phenolic compounds capability of ultraviolet radiation absorption in vitro
Brown algae phenolic compounds (PC) are secondary metabolites that participate in many biological processes, such as ultraviolet radiation (UV) protection, polyspermy blocking and trace metals bounding. Recently, PC has also been studied due to possible interactions with cell wall polysaccharides. H...
