Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide found in brown seaweed. Due to its reported biological activities, including antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory it has garnered significant attention for potential biomedical applications. However, the direct relationship between fucoidan extracts' chemical structures bioactivities unclear, making extremely challenging predict whether an extract will possess given bioactivity. This further complicated by lack of uniformity recent literature terms assessment reporting properties, yield composition (e.g., sulfate, fucose, uronic acid monosaccharide contents). These inconsistencies pose challenges when directly comparing extraction techniques across studies. review collected data on contents properties from selection available Where information was unavailable directly, efforts were made extrapolate data. approach enabled comprehensive examination correlation characteristics resulting extracts. A holistic framework presented methods, outlining key heuristics consider capturing broader context seaweed bioprocess. Future work should focus developing knowledge within these heuristic categories, such as creation technoeconomic models each process. allow robust process that integrates scale, cost constraints into decision making. Key quality attributes biologically active are proposed, areas future research identified, studies specific aimed at elucidating fucoidan's mechanism action. also sets out required standardize Standardization could positively enhance depth extracts, enabling relationships physical, bioactive be identified. Recommendations best practices production high-quality with desirable yield, bioactivity highlighted.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become the world’s third major disease after tumors and cardiovascular disease. With exploitation of marine biological resources, efficacy using polysaccharides isolated from organisms in blood glucose regulation received widespread attention. Some can reduce by inhibiting digestive enzyme activity, eliminating insulin resistance, regulating gut microbiota. These are mainly fucose-containing sulphated algae sea cucumbers. It follows that hypoglycemic activity fucosyl-polysaccharides is closely related to their structure, such as sulfate group, monosaccharide composition, molecular weight glycosidic bond type. However, structure mechanism not yet clear. Therefore, this review comprehensively covers effects sources, mechanisms structure–activity relationship on activity. Moreover, potential regulatory vascular complications caused hyperglycemia also summarized review. This provides rationales for study new insights into high-value utilization resources.
