Your Premier Laminarin Production Partner
Laminarin is a polysaccharide found mainly in brown algae and certain fungi. It is a polysaccharide composed of β-glucan chains with a variety of biological activities and potential applications. CD BioGlyco has been dedicated to delivering dependable Marine Plant Polysaccharide Production Services to our clients through the utilization of advanced Technologies for numerous years. We offer a wide range of extraction technologies to support our laminarin production service. These state-of-the-art techniques enable us to effectively extract laminarin from seaweed while maintaining high levels of purity and quality. Our team of specialists is continuously researching and developing new extraction methods to remain at the forefront of the industry and deliver top-quality products to our clients. Our technologies that can be utilized in laminarin production are as follows.
Traditional extraction method
The extraction of laminarin at CD BioGlyco is carried out efficiently using water as a solvent under high-temperature conditions. The dried and milled brown algae is mixed with hot water to release laminarin by disrupting the cell walls with heat, and then obtain laminarin by filtration, concentration, and precipitation. Meanwhile, we use a strong acid (usually hydrochloric acid) or strong bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to disrupt the cell wall of the brown algae, releasing laminarin and other soluble polysaccharides, and then isolate the laminarin through neutralization, washing, and purification steps.
Assited extraction method
Our microwave-assisted extraction technology uses microwave radiation to heat the solvent and speed up the extraction process, followed by filtration and collection to obtain laminarin. Furthermore, our experts use carbohydrate and protein hydrolase enzymes to accomplish a highly bioactive laminarin extract. This results in laminarin extract with high bioactivity, containing an abundance of beneficial compounds including antioxidants, polysaccharides, and essential nutrients. Additionally, our advanced extraction technology ensures the preservation of the natural properties of laminarin, making our extract a valuable resource for promoting overall well-being and vitality.
The marine carbohydrates in our service include but are not limited to Alginate, Fucoidan, Carrageenan, and laminarin.

Results: The main point of this article is to discuss the process of obtaining laminarin from Saccharina latissima seaweed through the use of cross-flow filtration. It was found that efficient laminarin concentration could be achieved by adjusting the parameters of cross-flow filtration, such as feed rate, pressure, molecular weight cut-off value of the membrane, filtration time, and temperature. In addition, the study investigated the effect of frozen biomass on homogenization the effect of prolonged extraction time on laminarin release, and the suitability of seaweed for homogenization. The article showed that more laminarin was extracted from frozen seaweeds than from fresh seaweeds, the reason for this may be because freezing helps to disrupt the cell wall, making homogenization and extraction easier. The reason for this may be that freezing can help break down the cell wall, making homogenization and extraction easier. More laminarin could not be extracted by changing the extraction time and temperature, or by switching to a sodium carbonate-based dissolution technique, which suggests that the laminarin dissolution method used already extracted most of the laminarin. Through these studies, it is possible to improve the utilization of Saccharina latissima biomass by effectively recovering the second most abundant constituent in it laminarin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does laminarin differ from other polysaccharides?
Laminarin is a beta-glucan whose structure consists mainly of glucose molecules linked by beta-1,3 and beta-1,6 glycosidic bonds. Other polysaccharides, such as starch and cellulose, are usually α-glucans, and the structure consists of α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic bonds, or polysaccharides composed of monosaccharides such as glucose and xylose.
What are the storage conditions for laminarin?
Laminarin should be stored in a dry environment, away from moisture or humidity, as polysaccharides tend to absorb moisture and agglomerate in a humid environment, affecting their quality and stability. Moreover, laminarin needs to be stored in an airtight container to prevent the entry of air and water vapor. It is best to store laminarin in a cool place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. High temperatures can cause laminarin to decompose or deteriorate, reducing its quality.
With our state-of-the-art equipment and expertise, CD BioGlyco is committed to meeting the growing demand for laminarin production in various industries such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. If you are interested in further details, please feel free to contact us.
