FUCOIDAN EXTRACTION



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucoidan
Fucoidan

Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide (MW: average 20,000) found mainly in various species of brown algae and brown seaweed such as mozuku, kombu, bladderwrack, wakame, and hijiki (variant forms of fucoidan have also been found in animal species, including the sea cucumber). Fucoidan is used as an ingredient in some dietary supplement products.

Fucoidan designates a group of certain fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs) that have a backbone built of (1?3)-linked a-l-fucopyranosyl or of alternating (1?3)- and (1?4)-linked a-l-fucopyranosyl residues, and also include sulfated galactofucans with backbones built of (1 ? 6)-ß-d-galacto- and/or (1 ? 2)-ß-d-mannopyranosyl units with fucose or fuco-oligosaccharide branching, and/or glucuronic acid, xylose, or glucose substitutions.[1][2] These FCSPs offer several potentially beneficial bioactive functions for humans. The bioactive properties may vary depending on the source of seaweed, the compositional and structural traits, the content (charge density), distribution, and bonding of the sulfate substitutions, and the purity of the FCSP product. The preservation of the structural integrity of the FCSP molecules essentially depends on the extraction methodology which has a crucial, but partly overlooked, significance for obtaining the relevant structural features required for specific biological activities and for elucidating structure-function relations.[1][3]

Research
Fucoidins have been the subject of preliminary studies to investigate claims for potential antioxidant, cognitive, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-hyperglycemic effects.[4]

Fucoidan and Cancer: A Multifunctional Molecule with Anti-Tumor Potential
Farzaneh Atashrazm, et al.
Abstract
There is a wide variety of cancer types yet, all share some common cellular and molecular behaviors. Most of the chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer treatment are designed to target common deregulated mechanisms within cancer cells. Many healthy tissues are also affected by the cytotoxic effects of these chemical agents. Fucoidan, a natural component of brown seaweed, has anti-cancer activity against various cancer types by targeting key apoptotic molecules. It also has beneficial effects as it can protect against toxicity associated with chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. Thus the synergistic effect of fucoidan with current anti-cancer agents is of considerable interest. This review discusses the mechanisms by which fucoidan retards tumor development, eradicates tumor cells and synergizes with anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Challenges to the development of fucoidan as an anti-cancer agent will also be discussed.

Extraction and Yield Optimisation of Fucose, Glucans and Associated Antioxidant Activities from Laminaria digitata by Applying Response Surface Methodology to High Intensity Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction
Marco Garcia-Vaquero, et al.
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to employ response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate and optimize the effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) variables, temperature, time and amplitude on the yields of polysaccharides (fucose and total glucans) and antioxidant activities (ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH)) from Laminaria digitata, and to explore the suitability of applying the optimum UAE conditions for L. digitata to other brown macroalgae (L. hyperborea and Ascophyllum nodosum). The RSM with three-factor, four-level Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to study and optimize the extraction variables. A second order polynomial model fitted well to the experimental data with R2 values of 0.79, 0.66, 0.64, 0.73 for fucose, total glucans, FRAP and DPPH, respectively. The UAE parameters studied had a significant influence on the levels of fucose, FRAP and DPPH. The optimised UAE conditions (temperature = 76 °C, time = 10 min and amplitude = 100%) achieved yields of fucose (1060.7 ± 70.6 mg/100 g dried seaweed (ds)), total glucans (968.6 ± 13.3 mg/100 g ds), FRAP (8.7 ± 0.5 µM trolox/mg freeze-dried extract (fde)) and DPPH (11.0 ± 0.2%) in L. digitata. Polysaccharide rich extracts were also attained from L. hyperborea and A. nodosum with variable results when utilizing the optimum UAE conditions for L. digitata.

1. Introduction
Macroalgae are a diverse group of organisms capable of adapting to the extreme marine environmental conditions by producing multiple bioactive compounds. Marine macroalgae are considered a rich source of micro- and macronutrients with antioxidant activities, i.e., minerals, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, proteins and polysaccharides [1].

Macroalgal polysaccharides, particularly fucoidan and laminarin have a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, immunostimulatory and anti-microbial both in vitro and in vivo [2,3]. Fucoidans are a family of sulphated fucose-rich polysaccharides, built on a backbone of a-l-fucopyranose residues [4]. These polysaccharides are an integral part of the cell walls of brown macroalgae, playing a crucial role in the protection of seaweeds against environmental challenges [5]. Laminarins are glucan-polysaccharides containing 1,3-linked ß-d-glucose residues with different degrees of 6-O branching and ß-(1,6) intrachain links [6]. Hence, glucans are polysaccharides of d-glucose monomers that act as energy reserve compounds stored in vacuoles inside the macroalgal cells [7].

The traditional extraction methods employed for polysaccharides involve the use of one or several solvents used alone or in combination with high temperatures [2]. Innovative technologies are currently being explored to generate novel extraction protocols, aiming to obtain higher yields of bioactive compounds and to develop more environmentally friendly processes, with lower energy consumption, time and cost of extraction [8]. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is one of the most promising innovative technologies used to date [9]. The enhancement in the extraction of bioactive compounds achieved by UAE is mainly attributed to the effect of cavitations in the solvent [10]. The process of cavitation involves nucleation, growth and collapse of bubbles in a liquid, driven by the bulk pressure variation created by the passage of the ultrasound waves. The cavitation creates physical effects, such as velocity/pressure shockwaves that causes cell disruption, and micro-turbulences that mixes and accelerates the extraction of bioactive compounds through the cell membranes [8,10]. The UAE has been utilized to extract multiple functional molecules from plants [11,12,13], macroalgae [14,15] and microalgae [16]...

2.2. Optimization of the Extraction of Polysaccharides and Antioxidant Activity
The current study focuses on the extraction of both fucose and glucans together along with their antioxidant activity by optimizing time, temperature and amplitude. All extraction parameters were optimized by using a more powerful semi-industrial ultra-sonication device (power 500 W, 20 kHz), compared to a lab grade ultra-sonication device used in previous studies [7,20]. Optimum conditions were determined aiming to maximize the yields of (i) fucose (condition 1), (ii) total glucans (condition 2), (iii) antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) (condition 3) and (iv) yield of polysaccharides and antioxidant activities combined (condition 4). The levels of the three independent parameters used in UAE (temperature, time and ultrasonication amplitude), together with the predicted values and the experimental results obtained from L. digitata extracts are summarized in Table 4. The predicted values of the theoretical model for the four optimum conditions described were confirmed with the experimental data with the exception of the FRAP values, which were lower than the predicted values in both conditions 3 and 4.

The optimum UAE extraction conditions to obtain high yields of fucose from L. digitata were temperature (80 °C), time (30 min) and ultrasonication amplitude (40%; condition 1; Table 4). There is some conflicting data in the literature with regard to the influence of these conditions on the yields of fucose. Previous studies using UAE did not identify an influence of time or amplitude on the fucose content of extracts from A. nodosum [20]. Our results suggested that temperature is a critical factor for getting higher yield of both fucose and glucans along with total antioxidant activity, which was neglected in previous studies [7,20]. Our results are in agreement with Ale et al. [22] wherein the temperature and time of extraction also had an influence on the extraction of fucose from Sargassum spp. using conventional extraction techniques, with optimum extraction conditions obtained at temperatures of 90 °C over a 4 h period. However, previous researchers optimizing UAE conditions to obtain bioactive compounds from plants identified an influence of temperature, time and various ultrasonication parameters (i.e., frequency and power) on the yields of polysaccharides [23,24].

The optimum UAE extraction conditions to obtain high yields of total glucans from L. digitata were temperature (52.5 °C), time (10 min) and ultrasonication amplitude (100%; condition 2; Table 4). High ultrasonication amplitudes were also required to recover glucans from mushroom by-products (Agaricus bisporus) with the highest yields of glucans obtained applying high ultrasonic amplitudes (100 µm) for 15 min, followed by 1 h of precipitation with ethanol [25]. A previous study carried out by Kadam et al. [7] using 0.1 M HCl showed an increased extraction of glucans from L. hyperborea and A. nodosum at 60% of ultrasonic amplitude for 15 min, although the optimization of the UAE parameters was not performed [7].

[7] using 0.1 M HCl showed an increased extraction of glucans from L. hyperborea and A. nodosum at 60% of ultrasonic amplitude for 15 min, although the optimization of the UAE parameters was not performed [7].

The mild extraction conditions needed to preserve the antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) of extracts from L. digitata (temperature 40 °C, time 30 min and amplitude 40%; condition 3; Table 4) could be due to the antioxidant power of other thermolabile compounds that could be present in the crude extracts, such as proteins/peptides [1] and polyphenols [26,27]. In fact, previous studies optimizing UAE to achieve phenolic compounds from brown macroalgae (Hormosira banksia) obtained maximum phenolic contents using low temperatures (30 °C) at medium sonication power (60%) for 60 min [28].

The optimum conditions to obtain both high yields of polysaccharides and antioxidant activities were of temperature (76 °C), time (10 min) and ultrasonication amplitude (100%; condition 4; Table 4). To our knowledge there are no studies presented in the literature that aim to optimize the yields of polysaccharides and its antioxidant activities from any species of seaweed.
2.3. Application of Optimal UAE Conditions in other Brown Macroalgae

The applicability of the four optimum conditions for L. digitata was subsequently explored to generate polysaccharide rich extracts from other brown macroalgae with commercial value (L. hyperborea and A. nodosum). The contents of fucose, total glucans and antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) of extracts from L. hyperborea and A. nodosum using optimal UAE conditions are compiled in Table 5. L. hyperborea extracts had higher contents of total glucans and DPPH activities, being approximately 10 and 4 fold higher than the values obtained from L. digitata, respectively. A. nodosum extracts showed powerful antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) when compared to both Laminaria species. Previous studies aiming the UAE of fucose and glucans from brown macroalgae achieved extracts containing 87.06 mg fucose/g from A. nodosum [20] and 5.29–6.24 mg glucans/100 mg from L. hyperborea and A. nodosum, although the antioxidant activity of these extracts was not reported [7]...

4. Conclusions
Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was studied for the extraction of polysaccharides (fucose and glucans) and antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) from L. digitata. Response surface methodology was employed to investigate the effect of the UAE variables (temperature, time and ultrasonic amplitude) on the macroalgal extracts to enhance the yields of polysaccharides and its antioxidant activities. The UAE parameters studied showed significant influence on the levels of fucose, FRAP and DPPH. Levels of 1060.75 mg/100 g ds, 968.57 mg/100 g ds, 8.70 µM trolox/mg fde and 11.02% were obtained for fucose, total glucans, FRAP and DPPH respectively at optimized conditions of temperature (76 °C), time (10 min) and ultrasonic amplitude (100%) using 0.1 M HCl as solvent. The UAE conditions described were then applied successfully to other economically relevant brown macroalgae (L. hyperborea and A. nodosum) to obtain polysaccharide rich extracts. This study demonstrates the applicability of UAE to enhance the extraction of bioactive polysaccharides from various macroalgal species.
