Abstract
Fucoidan extracted from brown seaweeds have been extensively studied in the past and interest in its pharmaceutical properties is growing. The present study reported the extraction and estimation of fucoidan components from Padina distromatica Hauck. Fucoidan was extracted by Rioux method and the fucoidan components such as fucose, sulphate, uronic acid and proteins were analyzed by standard methods. The result showed that the sulphate content was the highest percentage (31.68%) followed by fucose content (15.19%). Uronic acid content was significantly lower than the other components of fucoidan that was 5.47% followed by protein content (1.498%) from the tested fucoidan extracted from Padina distromatica Hauck in Hare island, Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, India.
