Ultraviolet Assisted Autolysis Of Sea Cucumber (Stichopus Horrens) Body Wall For The Enhancement Of Sulfated Polysaccharides Release

Sea cucumbers (Stichopus horrens) contain important bioactive compounds called sulfated polysaccharides (SP), which can be extracted by autolysis process utilizing its endogenous enzyme. However, this process is slow and not efficient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of UV ass...
