When exposed to natural sunlight, pelagic Sargassum species released large amounts of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Sargassum DOC has a high phenolic content (~5-18% of solid phase extracted DOC). While phlorotannin stability should be evaluated, results highlight that Sargassum could be a substantive marine source of polyphenols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
