Cover Story: Brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) are key marine organisms, rich in diverse polysaccharides including cellulose, alginates, sulfated fucans, and laminarin, which play roles in nutraceutical, medical, and cosmetic industries. This study focuses on new methods for glycosidic linkage analysis of unfractionated polysaccharides from farmed and wild harvest brown seaweeds: Himanthalia elongata, Fucus vesiculosus, Alaria marginata, Saccharina latissima, and Macrocystis tenuifolia. It presents new comprehensive procedures for the identification of linkages from complex polysaccharides and investigates how factors like species, tissue type, harvest seasons, and treatments like blanching influence polysaccharide compositions.
