abstract={Oligosaccharides extracted from algae exhibit many bioactivities and are used as food additives and dietary supplements. In this study, &#946;-1,3-xylan was extracted from the green algae <i>Caulerpa</i><i> lentillifera</i>; this compound was hydrolyzed by &#946;-1,3-xylanase XYLII to produce mixed &lt; 3 kDa &#946;-1,3-xylooligosaccharide (XOS<SUB>mix</SUB>), which was mainly composed of &#946;-1,3-xylose, &#946;-1,3-xylobiose, and &#946;-1,3-xylotriose. The antioxidant and anticoagulant activities of XOS<SUB>mix</SUB> were then examined. Results revealed that the 2,2-diphenyl-1-pikryl-hydrazyl scavenging activity, reducing power, and total antioxidant status of 20 mg/mL XOS<SUB>mix</SUB> was equivalent to those of 8.7, 115.1, and 157.3 ¦Ìg/mL trolox, respectively; whereas the ferrous ion chelating activity of 20 mg/mL XOS<SUB>mix</SUB> was equivalent to that of 64.3 &#956;g/mL EDTA. Regarding the anticoagulant activity, XOS<SUB>mix</SUB> delayed the activated partial thromboplastin time. These results suggest that XOS<SUB>mix</SUB> exhibits potential for application in the food industry.},
