Molecular Structure:

Kombu or konbu (Japanese: 昆布,), also called dashima (Korean: ??? dasima) or haidai (Chinese: 海帶), is edible kelp from the family Laminariaceae widely eaten in East Asia. Most kombu is from the species Saccharina japonica (Laminaria japonica), extensively cultivated on ropes in the seas of China, Japan, and Korea. Over 90 percent of Japanese kombu is cultivated, mostly in Hokkaidō, but also as far south as the Seto Inland Sea.

Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll, with formula C₄₂H₅₈O₆. It is found as an accessory pigment in the chloroplasts of brown algae, such as Saccharina japonica (Laminaria japonica) and most other heterokonts, giving them a brown or olive-green color. Fucoxanthin absorbs light primarily in the blue-green to yellow-green part of the visible spectrum, peaking at around 510-525 nm by various estimates and absorbing significantly in the range of 450 to 540 nm. Some metabolic and nutritional studies carried out on rats and mice at Hokkaido University indicate that fucoxanthin promotes fat burning within fat cells in white adipose tissue by increasing the expression of thermogenin. As of 2008^[update], no human studies on fucoxanthin have been published, so it remains to be seen whether it is of any value in human obesity.
