In recent years, interest has increased in the isolation of marine bioactives with great potential for the development of nutraceutical products and functional foods. In this sense, brown algae and in particular sargassum are an important source of antioxidants, vitamins, anti-inflammatories and, in particular, a sulfated polysaccharide known by the name of fucoidan. Due to its chemical composition, fucoidan has various beneficial bioactivities for human health, such as anticancer, immune system modulator, anti-inflammatory, prebiotic and anticoagulant. In addition, fucoidan has potential for the encapsulation and release of drugs and bioactivities and in bioremediation of water bodies. Due to these applications, in Mexico, there has been a recent interest in the development of a fucoidan extraction process. This paper reviews the biology of fucoidan, its bioactivities, the methods used for its extraction, and basic engineering for the extraction of fucoidan at the laboratory level from the algae Sargassum sinicola present in Mexican seas.
