Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The present study was to quantify the biochemical of a few seaweeds. The brown algal seaweeds Padina gymnospora and Padina tetrastomatica were collected and selected from the coastline of Mandapam, South East Coast of India. The major biochemical content of proteins, carbohydrate, lipid, crude fibre and pigments were quantitatively analyzed. The maximum of total carbohydrate, soluble protein, lipid, fibre, chlorophyll, and carotenoid contents are 53%, 31%, 3% in Padina gymnospora, 15% in Padina tetrastomatica, 27%, and 23% in Padina tetrastomatica respectively. The fucoxanthin content of Padina gymnospora and Padina tetrastomatica was 59% and 50% respectively.
