Northern Sea Cucumber ( Cucumaria frondosa ): A Potential Candidate for Functional Food, Nutraceutical, and Pharmaceutical Sector
Sea cucumber ( Cucumaria frondosa ) is the most abundant and widely distributed species in the cold waters of North Atlantic Ocean. C. frondosa contains a wide range of bioactive compounds, mainly collagen, cerebrosides, glycosaminoglycan, chondroitin sulfate, saponins, phenols, and mucopolysacchari...
