Abstract
Graphical Abstract Extractable polyphenols-rich components (EPCs) and non-extractable polyphenols-rich components (NEPCs) have been isolated from three edible seaweeds. EPCs and NEPCs from three edible seaweeds contain certain amounts of phenolics, flavonoids, and tannins, and few amounts of carbohydrates and proteins. Further studies evaluated the efficacy and mechanism behind the anti-inflammatory capacities in activated macrophages and anticancer properties in colon cancer cells.
