QUICK LINKS

Laminarin is a polysaccharide found in Laminaria digitata, a type of brown seaweed known as kelp. This biopolymer consists mainly of glucose units and is characterized by its beta-glucan structure, which differentiates it from the cellulose found in terrestrial plants. Laminarin′s unique composition and properties make it a substance of interest across various fields. In the field of biotechnology, laminarin is explored as a renewable resource for biofuel production. Its high glucose content makes it an attractive substrate for fermentation processes aimed at producing bioethanol. In agriculture, laminarin has been studied for its potential as a natural biostimulant and biopesticide. Its application on crops can enhance plant defense mechanisms against pathogens and stress, promoting growth and increasing crop yield.
