Fatty Acid Composition and Biological Activity of Supercritical Extracts from Arctic Brown Algae Fucus vesiculosus

The fatty acid composition of arctic brown algae was studied using supercritical (SC) fluid extraction. A method for fractionating the SC extract based on the differences in the solubility of its components (fatty acids, polyphenols) was proposed. The composition and biological activity of the fractions were studied.
