Laminarin is the reserve carbohydrate of the sublitoral brown algae, especially Laminaria. There are two types of laminarin as regards solubility, the normal or water-insoluble laminarin (from L. cloustoni) and a soluble type (from L. digitata). These two kinds of laminarin differ only in solubility and are otherwise indistinguishable in composition and structure. They will not be further differentiated in this description. 

Laminarin, a linear glucan containing mainly /3-d-(1—>3) linked glucose, with some /3-d-(1—>6) branching points, is found in Laminaria, a brown seaweed.

Laminarin, a less viscous phycolloid amply foimd in Laminaria and Saccharina, has shown its capability to promote higher production of butyric acid through bacterial fermentation (Deville et al., 2004). Butyrates are important energy-yielding metabolites for the colonial epithelial cells and account for about 70% of the energy requirement of the colon (Reilly et al., 2008). Prebiotic effects of laminarin studied in animal models reported that 1% dietary supplementation resulted in an increase in... 

Laminaria is a kelp that finds its place in the brown algae family. It has been an area of study for past many years, and its wonderful biological properties have always attracted medical professionals and researchers to explore more and more from this wonder kelp. The constituents of Laminaria include iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. Iodine compounds, TEA-hydroiodide in particular, are great lipolytic agents as they stimulate lipase activity. Laminarins on the other hand are used as a tumor angiogenic blocker. 

Dietary use of Laminaria dates back to the days of the First World War when it was used in raw form as a feed supplement for horses. It is used as a food, principally in Asian coimtries, where it is valued for its flavor, mineral content, and health giving benefits. The most important components with a medicinal point of view are Laminaria s polysaccharides. It contains alginates, laminarin, laminine, and fucoidan as well as a number of other polysaccharides and simple sugars.

Grapevine cells also respond to the presence of polysaccharides. For example, when laminarin, which is a p-1,3 glucan derived from the brown algae Laminaria digitata, was used as elicitor in V. vinifera cv Gamay cells, 65 pg trans-R FW was accumulated in the culture medium after 8 h of treatment [44]. s-viniferin was present predominantly inside the cells, where it peaked (130 pg g FW) after 20 h, although a significant amount of s-viniferin (62 pg g FW) was also detected after 12 h in the extracellular medium [44].
