TLDR
Three metabolites of fucoxanthin were isolated from a brown alga, Scytosiphon lomentaria, and the structure of a new compound was determined by NMR, revealing a biologically active carotenoid in brown algae.Abstract:
Three metabolites of fucoxanthin were isolated from a brown alga, Scytosiphon lomentaria, and the structure of a new compound was determined by NMR. The content of fucoxanthin, a biologically active carotenoid, in four edible brown algae, cultivated in deep seawater, was studied.read more

Fucoxanthin as the Major Antioxidant in Hijikia fusiformis, a Common Edible Seaweed
TL;DR: In this article, the radical scavenging activity of Japanese edible seaweeds was screened by the DPPH (1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay to evaluate the 1DPPH radical scavengence activity in organic extracts, and the major active compound from Hijikia fusiformis in its acetone extract was identified as fucoxanthin.
