Popis: This study investigated Himanthalia elongata Irish seaweed as a natural resource for antioxidant compounds. The phenolic compounds from the seaweed were extracted using 60% (v/v) aqueous methanol and the crude methanolic extract was purified with liquid–liquid partition (LLP) followed by column chromatography (CC). Among the purified fractions/sub-fractions, LLP-CC-ethyl acetate sub-fraction exhibited the highest DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging (EC50, 2.4 mg/g) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) scavenging capacity (97.7%). Rapid characterization of the same sub-fraction by LC-DAD–ESI-MS/MS identified a total of 8 phenolic compounds namely hydroxybenzaldehyde (meta/para), phloroglucinol, kaempferol, cirsimaritin, gallic acid 4-O-glucoside, carnosic acid and gallic acid. The purified sub-fractions showed higher antioxidant capacity (P
