Abstract

A determination method for alginic acid with high accuracy and rapidity was devised by modifying the method of MCCREADY et al. Various brown seaweeds found along the coast of Japan were analyzed for alginic acid content by means of the new method. The results showed that there is a clear correlation between the alginic acid content and the yield of alginic acid, regardless of the species of seaweed. On the other hand, no clear correlation was found between the molecular weight of the alginic acid prepared and the alginic acid content or its yield, regardless of the species.
