METHOD OF BROWN ALGAE PROCESSING Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: biotechnology. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to processing of brown algae, namely, laminaria and bady wrack (Fucus vesiculosis) for preparing lipid concentrates and water-soluble concentrates enriched with iodine. Milled algae are extracted with an organic solvent containing 1-6 carbon atoms at ratio raw : extractant = 1:(1-20). After distillation of solvent lipid and aqueous concentrates are obtained and separated their. An aqueous extract is dried to obtain water-soluble concentrate. Method provides the most effectiveness of extraction of lipid-soluble component of brown algae which are rich with nonsaturated substances and to use its as a substance for production of curative-prophylactic additions "Clamin" and "Phytolon". The powder obtained from water-soluble substances of brown algae extract is the complex of polysaccharides, mannitol, vitamins, mineral substances (including that enriched with iodine) that can be used as the food and prophylactic addition in medicinal, food and chemical-pharmaceutical industries. EFFECT: improved method of processing. 2 cl, 1 tbl, 2 dwg, 8 ex
