Scientific approaches to the development of a unified technology for the obtaining of water-soluble polysaccharides from red algae

This paper presents rational pH values for pretreatment environments for red algae used to obtain water-soluble polysaccharides of varying structures. It was found that this parameter is independent of the location and time of red algae collection and is related to the species characteristic. A new indicator, «algae capacity», is proposed, which is an individual characteristic of a specific algae sample. It is proven that the use of scientifically validated rational pH values for pretreatment environments and algae capacity has enabled the standardization of the technological process for obtaining water-soluble polysaccharides from red algae.
