Fucoidan Biochemical Variation Across Brown Seaweed Species

Coefficient of variation data for biochemical properties of crude fucoidan extracts from brown seaweed. The dataset includes CV% values for monosaccharide fucose, sulphate content, uronic acid, yield, antioxidant activities, enzyme inhibitory activities, and cell viability. It was authored by Manisha Prajapati and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the consistency of sulphate/fucose ratio across different seaweed species using the CV% values.
• Analyze relationships between antioxidant activity CV% values from DPPH, ABTS, HRSA, NO, and FRAP assays.
• Assess the variability in enzyme inhibitory potency by comparing α-amylase and α-glucosidase IC₅₀ CV% data.
• Evaluate the reliability of cell viability measurements for crude fucoidan extracts across species.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple biochemical assays: 5 antioxidant, 2 enzyme inhibitory, and cell viability.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely few data points.
• No row count or sample data is provided, making scale assessment difficult.
