Antioxidant properties of sequential extracts from brown seaweed, Sargassum plagiophyllum, C. Agardh
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
Objective: To study the antioxidant properties of sequential extracts of Sargassum plagiophyllum. Methods: Sargassum plagiophyllum subjected to sequential extraction using acetone, acidic, alkaline and neutral water. Antioxidant properties of each extract were done. Results: Maximum yield was observed in alkaline water extraction with 26% and lowest yield was observed in Acetone extraction with nearly 2%. Among the various extracts, acetone extract was found to possess the higher antioxidant potential than other sequential extraction products. Conclusions: In this study, it was observed that the all the four extracts have notable antioxidant property that can be potentially exploited as an important ingredient in food processing industries.
