Method for producing novel sugar alcohols from red algae

Chemical Method for Producing Novel Sugar Alcohols from Seaweed

This technology describes a chemical method for producing the novel sugar alcohol 3,6-anhydro-L-galactitol (L-AHGol) and the disaccharide-form agarobaititol (ABol) from seaweed.

Production pathways for efficiently obtaining high-value sugar alcohols from marine biomass have been limited.

This technology contributes to the production of high-value materials based on marine biomass by utilizing red algae-derived components to produce novel sugar alcohols and disaccharide-form derivatives.
