Abstract :
Polysaccharides are polymers composed of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds and are widely found in microorganisms, animals, algae, and plants. Some species of microalgae have naturally high carbohydrate concentrations. Polysaccharides derived from algae are safe, biocompatible, biodegradable and stable. These polymeric macromolecules have different complex biochemical structures according to the type of algae and microalgae. Microalgal polysaccharides are mainly composed of pentose and hexose monosaccharide subunits with various glycosidic linkages. Microalgae polysaccharides can be structural components of the cell wall, energy reserves or protective polysaccharides. Today, the industrial use of microalgae polysaccharides is increasing. These microorganisms and the compounds extracted from them have wide rheological and biological properties that make them a suitable option for use in food and agriculture industries. Therefore, microalgal polysaccharides are suitable alternatives for wide applications and the choice of microalgal species depends on the required functional activity. This paper aims to provide an overview to identify the potential of algal polysaccharides for agricultural applications.
