ABSTRACT
Marine-derived products, such as polymer, polysaccharide, agar, alginate and chitosan, among others, are constituted with a high range of possessions and different functional characteristics that is explain their important application including biomedical potential. Moreover, biomacromolecules from marine sources have been chemically varied with biological activities, which are used to develop pharmaceuticals products, including those to control drug-resistant pathogens. In this chapter, the authors focus on biomacromolecules from marine organisms, and their different components of carbohydrate, alginate, chitosan, extracellular polymeric substances, Agar, carrageenan, collagen and their biological properties are discussed. Furthermore, this chapter describes more efficient and biocompatible biomacromolecules and their importance of drug delivery through the tissue engineering process of scaffolds.
