Compared to Carrageenan , Carrageenan oligosaccharides have lower molecular weight, and better solubility, stability and safety. Because of the exposure of active group in the molecular chain, Carrageenan oligosaccharides have better and more biological functions than carrageenan.
There are multiple functions of carrageenan oligosaccharide, including antivirus, anti-tumor, anti-radiation activity, anticoagulant effect, etc.
Application
² Anti-virus : Carrageenan oligosaccharide can inhibit
enterobacteria proliferation, promote the growth of small intestinal microvilli.
² Anti-tumor : Carrageenan oligosaccharide can increase the
concentration of IL-2 and TNF-α, which are important immune factors.
² Anti-oxidation : Carrageenan oligosaccharide have anti-oxidation
activity and protect cell from hydrogen peroxide damage.
² Anticoagulant effect : Carrageenan oligosaccharides is similar
to heparin with anticoagulant activity.
