Comparisons of methods for quantification of phlorotannins in brown seaweed
Introduction: Phlorotannins, bioactive natural phenolic polymer, existing in mostly brown seaweeds have been commonly quantified through colorimetric methods. Background: Colorimetric methods such as Folin-Ciocalteu (F-C) and 2,4- dimethoxybenzaldehyde (DMBA) assays have been widely used for total phlorotannins content (TPC) estimation. Aim(s): The aim of this study was to compare two different
