| Research Abstract |
Carrageenans are seaweed polysaccharides and widely used as food additives for gelling, stabilizing, and viscosity-building. However, the effects on human have not been clarified. It has been required to develop a suitable analytical method for carrageenans added to foods. In this study, we adopted the new enzymes from deep-sea microbes for the specific carrageenan analyses for this purpose. Further, we evaluated the effects of carrageenas on human cells.
