Antioxidant and anti-cancer activities of brown and red seaweed extracts from Chilean coasts

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the content of polyphenols, flavonoids and anthraquinones from sequential extracts from four algae species from along the Chilean coastline: Desmarestia ligulata, Dictyota kunthii, Laurencia chilensis and Chondracanthus chamissoi. The antioxidant capacity of these extra...
