of industries, especially in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries In recent years, many studies in the world have shown that low molecular weight alginates show many valuable biological activities more than high molecular weight alginates such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, allergy resistance, anti-bacterian, antiobesity, anti-cancer, hypertension prevention, cholesterol and blood sugar reduction, etc Alginate does not have the anticoagulant activity, but alginate sulfate (alginate were sulfated), especially low molecular weight alginate sulfate is highly compatible with blood because its structure is similar to the structure of heparin and its anticoagulant activity has been researched The anticoagulant activity of alginate sulfate depend on the molecular weight, the M/G ratio, the uronic sequencing, the seaweed species, etc Therefore, low molecular weight alginate sulfate has opened up potential applications for the pharmaceutical and

THE WORLD AND IN VIETNAM Around 2,060 species of brown seaweed and more than 95% of brown seaweed have originated in the sea The Fucales are the most common and economical species, represented by the Sargassaceae, with two branch Sargassum and Turbinaria China is the largest brown seaweed producer in the world with over 667,000 tonnes of dried seaweed per year South Korea, Japan, Norway and Chile has the brown seaweed yield about 96,000; 51,000; 40,000 and 27,000 tonnes of dried seaweed per year, respectively Vietnam has discovered over 120 brown seaweed species Brown seaweed harvesting season is mainly from April to June every year Annual yield is between 15,000 and 35,000 tonnes of dried seaweed Among them, Sargassum seaweed species has the largest reserves with about 68 species, harvesting yield about 10,000 tonnes of dried seaweed per year In Khanh Hoa province, more than 39 seaweed species in Sargassum genus are classified, however, they are gathering and have the largest reserves in Nha Trang Bay with over 21 common species Yield is estimated more than 4,800 tonnes of dried seaweed per year In the cell of brown seaweed, the major components are anionic polysaccharides such as alginate, fucoidin, fucin In particular, alginate content is the highest, up to 40% of dried seaweed weight; Fucoidan accounts for up to 8% of dried seaweed weight; Mannitol content can reach 30% of dried seaweed weight; Laminaran content can reach 30% of dried seaweed weight; The content of minerals in brown seaweed is 10 to 20 times higher than terrestrial plants, especially it is rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iodine; In addition, brown seaweed contains many other biological compounds such as pigment, vitamins, phenolic compounds, etc In general, the chemical compositions of brown seaweed vary with the seaweed species, season, weather, habitat, geographic locations, etc In our country, brown seaweeds are mainly used for raw fucoidan production with an annual output of about 400 ÷ 800 tonnes of raw fucoidan In addition, this material is sold as raw materials to China with low economic value or used for fertilizers, food for animals After being used for fucoidan production, the rest of seaweed is used for fertilizers or being discarded It can be seen that we have wasted the alginate resources almost intact in seaweed after fucoidan extraction Thus, the study on collecting alginate from brown seaweed after fucoidan extraction is essential, which enhances the value of brown seaweed resources Therefore, the dissertation will be studied on alginate collection from brown seaweed after extract fucoidan aim to increase the efficiency of using seaweed resources in Vietnam 1.2 OVERVIEW OF ALGINATE Alginate is a common term for salts of alginic acid, it is also an anionic polysaccharide, a straight chain copolymer formed from (1 4) glycosit bond of β-Dmannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G) Alginate is extracted from brown seaweed In addition, alginate is also produced from a number of bacterial species The physical, chemical and biological properties of alginate vary with the molecular weight, viscosity and M/G ratio as well as the uronic arrangement in the polymer The solubility of alginate depends on the type of metal salt, with metal salt has valence I then they dissolve in water In contrast, with metal salt has valence II then they are not soluble in water There are many studies on alginate extraction technology worldwide However, it can be seen that the study results of various seaweeds are different to the seaweed processing system, extraction system, extraction efficiency of alginate, and the cooking mode will affect the viscosity of alginate The viscosity of alginate is one of the important parameters reflecting the quality of sodium alginate obtained and affecting the alginate collection efficiency If the viscosity of low alginate means alginate short circuit When the alginate circuit structure is cuting short for the extraction process, the alginate recovery efficiency is low The reason that the short molecular circuit alginate is difficult to precipitate by alcohol The extraction efficiency and viscosity of alginate are closely related in the process of extracting alginate from brown algae In Vietnam, the number of studies on alginate extraction technology is rather rare, they have not been paid much attention At now, there haven’t been any alginate production companies All alginate products of the market are mainly imported from other countries The research on alginate extraction from brown seaweed residues of the fucoidan production process was studied in the country from 2008 to 2010 by Nha Trang Research and Applied Technology Institute However, there are some following limitations: (1) The seaweed residues extracted from fucoidan are dried before the alginate extraction This process is not necessary because it will lead to costly energy, extraction solvent, while seaweed residue can be used immediately for alginate extraction (2) The use of formol discolors seaweed residues within 24 hours prior to alginate extraction, which will have significant effects on health and environmental sanitation, as well as on viscosity, alginate molecular weight (3) The obtained product is the calcium alginate which is insoluble in water It is also quite complicated to shift into sodium alginate which is soluble in water, the production process needs more stage (4) The process of producing alginate is not concerned with the viscosity of alginate, alginate quality has not been assessed and the structural properties of alginate have not been determined yet 1.3 PREPARATION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT ALGINATE Low molecular weight alginate can be prepared by different methods such as physical method, chemical method or method of enzyme use The physical method (commonly used by irradiation) requires the equipment that normal laboratories not have The method of enzyme used to hydrolyze alginate into low molecular weight alginate This method does not cause environmental pollution, the products are produced by the clean technology, so it is easy to purify and obtain However, the method of using enzymes is still relatively new to Vietnam On the other hand, there is currently no enzyme hydrolyzed alginate in commercial form, so it is difficult to research and use enzymes in alginate hydrolysis The chemical method used for alginate hydrolysis have the advantage that the cost is not high but there are disadvantages after hydrolysis which requires product refining However, the use of chemical methods of alginate hydrolysis are easy to implement and the probability of success is quite high, in accordance with domestic research conditions Although low molecular weight alginate is prepared by hydrolysis method (acid) which has not been extensively studied in the country, it has been extensively studied in the world The ability to apply low molecular weight alginate relates to the modulation method The results of the literature review show that low molecular weight alginate prepared by the irradiation method is mainly used in agricultural production (plants, livestock), there aren’t researches applied in food production field Meanwhile, low molecular weight alginates prepared by chemical methods and using hydrolysis enzymes have been studied and applied for food, cosmetics and medicine Therefore, to prepare low molecular weight alginate as a raw material for functional food production, the dissertation aims to select the alginate hydrolysis method by acid agent 1.4 THE APPLICATIONS OF ALGINATE AND LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT ALGINATE Alginate is a biopolymer considered as a new material, it is widely used in various industries The potential for alginate application for the country as well as in the world is very great, especially in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical field The applicability of 3.3.4 The

characteristics of the seaweed Turbinaria ornata, we can see that: alginate is a straight chain co-polymer formed from (14) glycosidic bond of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G); The glycosidic bond at carbon anomer of guluronate is the  bond, carbon anomer of 19 mannuronate is  bond; M/G ratio of alginate 1.06 shows that in the alginate component, the mannuronic acid content is higher than guluronic acid content; Extracted sodium alginate has high purity 3.4 RESEARCH ON PREPARATION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT ALGINATE AND DETERMINATION OF STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF LOW MOLECULAR
