Eisenia bicyclis – Brown Algae Botanical Ingredient

MEDIOCON INC offers Eisenia bicyclis, a marine-derived brown algae ingredient used as a specialty botanical and nutraceutical raw material.

Eisenia bicyclis is a marine brown alga belonging to the order Laminariales. It is also commonly known as Arame, and Ecklonia bicyclis is recognized as a synonym of the species.

The algae naturally contains a diverse range of polysaccharides, minerals and marine polyphenolic compounds. Published research has identified alginate, laminaran and fucoidan among its polysaccharide components.

Research on Eisenia bicyclis extracts has also characterized several phlorotannins, including eckol, 7-phloroeckol, dieckol, phlorofucofuroeckol A and fucofuroeckol.

Product Overview

Eisenia bicyclis is a marine macroalgae ingredient suitable for specialty food, nutraceutical, cosmetic and botanical formulation development.

The chemical profile of the raw algae or extract can vary according to:

• Harvest location
• Season
• Algal maturity
• Extraction method
• Drying method
• Solvent system
• Standardization level
• Processing conditions

Therefore, the exact specification of a commercial Eisenia bicyclis extract should always be confirmed against the current supplier's technical specification and Certificate of Analysis.

Key Naturally Occurring Components

Polysaccharides

Reported polysaccharides include:

• Alginate
• Laminaran
• Fucoidan

A published compositional study identified sodium alginate as a major polysaccharide and also reported laminaran and fucoidan in Eisenia bicyclis.

Key Features

• Marine-derived botanical ingredient
• Brown algae source
• Natural polysaccharide content
• Contains naturally occurring marine polyphenols
• Source of alginate, laminaran and fucoidan
• Contains phlorotannin compounds
• Suitable for nutraceutical formulations
• Suitable for functional-food development
• Suitable for cosmetic formulations
• Suitable for specialty botanical applications
• Available as whole algae, powder or extract depending on specification

Applications

Eisenia bicyclis and its extracts may be considered for:

• Nutraceutical formulations
• Dietary supplement formulations
• Functional foods
• Marine botanical blends
• Antioxidant-oriented formulations
• Cosmetic formulations
• Skin-care formulations
• Personal-care products
• Specialty food ingredients
• Research applications

Published studies have investigated Eisenia bicyclis extracts in functional-food and cosmetic research, but research findings should not automatically be converted into therapeutic claims on a commercial product page.

Polysaccharide Profile

The polysaccharide composition of Eisenia bicyclis is one of its important characteristics.

Research has reported sodium alginate, laminaran and fucoidan in the algae. One study reported sodium alginate as the major polysaccharide and characterized the structure of its laminaran fraction.

Exact concentrations should be stated only when supported by the specific commercial batch specification.

Phlorotannin Profile

Marine brown algae are recognized sources of phlorotannins, and Eisenia bicyclis extracts have been chemically characterized for multiple phlorotannin compounds.

Published LC-MS/MS analysis identified compounds including eckol, 7-phloroeckol, dieckol and phlorofucofuroeckol A in Eisenia bicyclis extract.

Product Forms

Depending on supplier specification, Eisenia bicyclis may be available as:

Whole Dried Algae

Dried marine brown algae material.

Powder

Finely processed algae powder suitable for formulation.

Botanical Extract

Concentrated extract prepared from Eisenia bicyclis using a specified extraction process.

Standardized Extract

Extract standardized to a defined marker such as total phlorotannins or another validated constituent.
