Green and efficient extraction of polysaccharides from brown seaweed by adding deep eutectic solvent in subcritical water hydrolysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a deep eutectic solvent combined with subcritical water extraction of seaweed polysaccharides was investigated from Saccharina japonica, and a Box-Behnken design was used to study the influences of the temperature (100°C −150°C), pressure (10−50 bar), water content (50% −70%), and liquid/solid (L/S) ratio (30 −50′mL/g).
