Alginate Oligosaccharide: Exploring Multifaceted Applications
Alginate oligosaccharide, a functional oligosaccharide, is derived from alginate through a targeted cleavage process, yielding a product with a polymerization degree typically ranging from 2 to 20. Algin, also commonly referred to as alginic acid, is a polysaccharide abundantly found in diverse species of brown algae. This versatile compound is structurally characterized by a random arrangement of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G) units, imbuing it with the structural attributes of linear polysaccharides.

Application Fields of Alginate oligosaccharides
In the realm of comprehensive wellness, alginate oligosaccharides have garnered widespread application across medicine, health supplements, food, and feed industries.
1 Medical Applications: The anti-tumorigenic and antioxidant properties of alginate oligosaccharides render them a pivotal component in the research and development of novel anticancer medications. Furthermore, they possess the ability to stimulate RAW264.7 cells, contributing to the modulation of immune regulatory signaling pathways. Additionally, these oligosaccharides effectively manage blood sugar levels and demonstrate efficacy in mitigating symptoms associated with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
2 Health Products & Food: Within the health products and food sectors, alginate oligosaccharides are predominantly utilized to enhance the nutritional and healthful qualities of foodstuffs. By isolating alginate dietary fiber tailored to specific applications, these oligosaccharides find use in beverages, transparent gel formulations, among others, offering products of unparalleled purity and clarity. Moreover, they contribute to elevating food viscosity and stability, while refining its flavor profile and texture.
3 Feed Industry: As an innovative plant growth regulator and fertilizer enhancer, alginate oligosaccharides revolutionize the feed industry by bolstering plant nutrient uptake efficiency. They stimulate root development, fortify plants against pests, diseases, and environmental stresses, ultimately leading to increased crop yields and enhanced quality.
Applications in Cosmetics
In the 1990s, research revealed that alginate oligosaccharides possess remarkable postoperative repair and anti-inflammatory properties, along with multifaceted benefits for skin beauty. Their molecular structure encompasses hydrophilic groups, enabling them to form hydrating gels that not only remove free radicals but also delay cellular aging, thus contributing to both hydration and anti-aging effects. Furthermore, these oligosaccharides effectively inhibit tyrosinase activity, leading to reduced melanin production and skin lightening. During skin allergies, cells typically produce enoic acid, activating tyrosinase and triggering melanin production, which can lead to pigmentation. However, alginate oligosaccharides intervene in this process.
1 Enhanced Moisture Retention: They exhibit exceptional moisture absorption capabilities, efficiently drawing excess moisture from the environment to maintain skin hydration, resulting in a more supple and resilient complexion.
2 Pigmentation Inhibition: By effectively suppressing pigment deposition, they prevent the formation of spots and dullness induced by UV rays and environmental pollutants, ensuring that the skin remains bright and even-toned.
3 Potent antioxidant properties: Effectively protect from free radical damage, delays skin aging processes, and preserves skin's elasticity and firmness.
4 Collagen degradation inhibition: As collagen is crucial for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness, inhibiting its breakdown helps retain a youthful skin appearance.
Applications in agriculture
1 Alginate oligosaccharides enhance the drought tolerance of crops. According to experimental findings, administering a 0.2% concentration of alginate oligosaccharides significantly mitigates electrolyte leakage and MDA content, while boosting the levels of free proline, total soluble sugars, and abscisic acid. Furthermore, it elevates the activities of CAT, SOD, POD, and PAL enzymes, thereby improving the drought resistance of tomato seedlings.
2 Alginate oligosaccharides stimulate crop growth and development. They trigger the expression of auxin-related genes in rice, accelerating auxin biosynthesis and transportation while inhibiting the activity of rice IAA oxidase. Consequently, the IAA concentration escalates by 37.8%. Additionally, these oligosaccharides promote the expression of auxin-responsive genes, enhancing the synthesis and translocation of IAA towards the aboveground portions, ensuring increased IAA delivery to the root system. This, in turn, fosters robust root growth and overall plant development.
3 Fucoid oligosaccharide stimulates the production of ABA (abscisic acid), markedly enhancing plants' resilience against drought, cold, extreme heat, salinity, waterlogging, and various other environmental stresses.
4 Fucoid oligosaccharide fosters the synthesis of IAA (auxin), thereby significantly accelerating plant rooting and germination processes.
