Abstract

The polysaccharide in sea cucumbers possesses a wide range of biological activities and health benefits. Sea cucumbers are rich in sea cucumber polysaccharides, accounting for more than 6% of the dry weight of sea cucumber. Polysaccharides in sea cucumbers have antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities, enjoying broad application prospects. At present, a series of progress has been achieved in the research and application of sea cucumber polysaccharides. This chapter mainly introduces the technologies for sea cucumber polysaccharide processing by focusing on the extraction and separation of sea cucumber polysaccharides and discusses the application progress of sea cucumber polysaccharides in the development of healthy foods and cosmetics.
