Protective Colloids. Another approach in preparing and stabilizing metal colloids is by adsorption of macromolecules on their surfaces. A wide variety of materials have been used including gummy gelatinous liquids,(J 0) albumin,(27) Icelandic moss,(28) latex,(22) polyvinylpyrrolidone, (29) antibodies, ( 30 ) carbowax 20M, ( 31 ) polyvinylpyridine, (31 ) and various polymer-water/oil-water mixtures.( 2) These studies clearly indicate that "steric stabilization of metal colloids is also important (along with electronic stabilization).(33)... 

Polysaccharides from which 2,4,6-trimethyl-D-glucose can be prepared by methylation and hydrolysis include a polyglucose isolated from the cell wall of brewer s yeast,166 laminarin168 and the hemicellulose fraction of Iceland moss.188... 

It has been reported by Granichstadten and Percival189 that 3,4,6-trimethyl-D-glucose is one of the components of the mixture of methylated monosaccharides produced by methylation and hydrolysis of the hemi-cellulose fraction of Iceland moss.

Palladium Hydrosol or Colloidal Palladium is readily prepared by the reduction of the chloride with acrolein5 or with hydrazine hydrate, in either case in the presence of an extract of Iceland moss 6 or in contact with sodium lysalbinate or protalbinate,7gum acacia,8 or with lanolin9 in a precisely similar manner to platinum,10 the function of the organic additions, which are protective colloids, being to increase the stability of the colloidal phase. 

A Comparison of Isolichenin and Lichenin from Iceland Moss (Cetraria islandica), N. B. Chanda, E. L. Hirst, and D. J. Manners,/. Chem. Soc., 1951 (1957). 

Percival also applied himself to the study of the polysaccharides from lichens, as, for example, the complex product of alkaline extraction of Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica). As a result of this work, he concluded that the polysaccharide consists of S-D-glucose residues united by various linkages 1,2, 1,3, 1,4, and 1,6, and includes also terminal D-galacto- and D-gluco-pyranose end groups. It was not possible to decide whether these linkages all occur in one polysaccharide. ...

ICELAND MOSS, Lichen islandicus consists of the dried thallus of Cetraria islandica (L.) Acharius sensu latiore, family Parmeliaceae. Characteristic constituents include bitter-tasting lichen acids usnic acid gives the bitter-taste and has antibacterial effects. It also contains polysaccharides, which form a mucilage Lichenin, a linear cellulose-like polymer of D-glucose, is soluble in hot water, and on cooling it forms a gel. The other polysaccharide is isolichenin, a linear starch-like polymer of D-glucose, soluble in cold water. 

In the form of decoctions Iceland moss is used to treat dry coughs. Here the antibiotic and bacteriostatic lichen acids may be of significance. A further indication is lack of appetite and gastro-enteritis.

ICELAND MOSS Iceland moss consists of the dried thallus of Cetmria islandica, L., Acharius, family Parmdinceae. Iceland moss is odourless, with a taste both mucilaginous and distinctly bitter. It is supplied as pieces of lichen branches and collected from the wild in subarctic or mountainous regions of Europe and obtained mainly from Scandinavian and Balkan countries, Russia and also Canada.

Although relatively little work has been done on natural antivirals against plant viruses, several reports concerning antiviral activity against plant virus infection have been recorded for example, yeast mannans with antiviral activity against the tobacco mosaic virus infection in tobacco plants [136], and lichenan PS from Iceland moss which exhibited antiviral activity against the potato viruses [8],...
