Sulfated polysaccharides from brown seaweeds are known to be a topic of numerous studies, due to their beneficial biological properties including antioxidant activity. Fucans were isolated from the brown sea- weed Cystoseira barbata harvested in Tunisia. ATR-FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopies demonstrated that

C. barbata sulfated polysaccharides (CBSPs) consisted mainly of

3-linked-a-l-fucopyranosyl backbone,

acetylated and mostly sulfated at C-4. Molar degrees of sulfation

and acetylation of CBSPs were 0.79 and 0.27, respectively.

Neutral sugars analysis determined by gas chromatography–mass

spectrometry (GC–MS) showed that CBSPs were mainly

composed of fucose (44.6%) and galactose (34.32%) with few amounts of other sugars such as glucose (7.55%), rhamnose

(6.41%), xylose (4.21%) and mannose (2.91%). CBSPs were

examined for in vitro antioxidant properties using various

antioxidant assays. CBSPs exhib- ited important DPPH

radical-scavenging activity (100% inhibition at a concentration of 1.5 mg/ml) and considerable ferric reducing potential (24.62 mg ascorbic acid equivalents). Effective chelating activity and significant protection activity against hydroxyl radical induced DNA breakage were also recorded for

CBSPs. However, in the linoleate-þ-carotene system, CBSPs

exerted moderate antioxidant activity (62%

inhibition at a concentration of 1.5 mg/ml). Therefore, CBSPs can

be used as a potent natural antioxidant in food industry or in the pharmaceutical field.
