Phlorotannins are generally dark brown in colour and are responsible for the poor digestibility of seaweeds in AD reactors.
“They are generally dark brown in colour and are responsible for the poor digestibility of seaweeds in AD reactors [75].”
From Key Targets for Improving Algal Biofuel Production (2021) · cites this paper as [75]
The Discussion (p. 10) says phlorotannin-related compounds at high concentrations may be one factor in low methane production from brown seaweeds, alongside recalcitrant alginic acid. It does not establish that phlorotannins are responsible for poor digestibility generally, and the passages found do not describe their colour as dark brown. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe oxidative stability of 18:2, 18:3, 20:4, and 22:6 is linearly related to the number of bis-allylic motifs and reveals that oxidisability increases approximately 2-fold for each active bis-allylic methylene group, thus 22:6 is 5 times greater than 18:2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
