Determination of sterols and diterpenoids from brown algae (Cystoseiraceae)

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of secondary metabolites that belong to the brown algae of the Cystoseiraceae family. The study was focused on sterols, which are globally determined as fucosterol, and on the main structural families of diterpenes (...

Description
Summary:A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of secondary metabolites that belong to the brown algae of the Cystoseiraceae family. The study was focused on sterols, which are globally determined as fucosterol, and on the main structural families of diterpenes (mero- and linear diterpenes). An example is given of the analysis of three characteristic extracts from Atlantic and Mediterranean species.
