MARINE NATURAL PRODUCTS AS ANTIOXIDANT AGENTS

Abstract

Interest in studying marine-biota-derived, biologically active chemicals as potential antibiotic, antiaging, antiviral, and anticancer substitutes has been sparked by their well-known but understudied antioxidant activity.  In order to generate some suggestions for next industrial applications, the current review aims to provide an overview of the most recent developments in the field of antioxidants produced from marine biota.    Techniques:    The various varieties of antioxidant compounds, contemporary derivation biotechnologies, and marine sources of natural antioxidants have all been reviewed and updated throughout the past five years. Findings: In addition to new antioxidant molecules and derivation techniques, new marine sources of antioxidants, such as wastes and byproducts, are examined. Conclusions: There is still a need for valuable antioxidants from marine biota.  Because microorganisms are becoming more resistant to antibiotics, natural substances with both antioxidant and antimicrobial properties are of interest.  In addition to antioxidant chemicals isolated from marine life that have been previously identified, new ones are discovered.  Waste and byproducts are excellent places to find antioxidant chemicals for identification.
