[Isolation of iodine-protein components from sea algae].

The isolation of iodorganic compounds from the Black Sea red alga Phyllophora nervosa and its by-products obtained from industrial treatment was investigated. The algal biomass was pressed to remove alkali, subjected to 5-10 min treatment with 11-12% sodium hydrate, and drying at 125-130 degrees C and washed to yield 95% iodine and over 80% proteins. Iodine was found to be bound with protein of Phyllophora.
