摘要

The invention relates to a mycosporin-type amino acid (M-gly) which can be used as an antioxidant and which is suitable for use in the biotechnological industry. The invention outlines the potential use of a mycosporin (MAA)-type amino acid as an antioxidant substance, specifically M-gly isolated from marine lichen Lichina pygmaea, and to the possible use thereof in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or functional food preparations, among others, for the prevention of oxidative stress.
