Chemical Composition, Phytochemical Constituent, and Toxicity of Methanol Extract of Brown Algae (Padina sp.) from Puntondo Coast, Takalar (Indonesia)
Journal Title: Journal of Food Quality and Hazards Control - Year 2021, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Padina sp. is an algae that has potential as a functional food. This study aimed to explore the chemical and photochemical constituent in the methanolic exract of Padina sp. Methods: Brown algae of Padina sp. from Puntondo coast, Takalar, Indonesia was prepared. The algae characterization was carried out based on the standard procedure of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC). Toxicity of Padina sp. was determined with Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Results: Chemical contents were 13.46% water, 38.02% ash, 12.33% protein, 1.60% fat, 20.02% fiber, and 48.06% carbohydrate. The FTIR spectrum displayed the presence of hydroxyl, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, aliphatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Padina sp. extract consisted of phytol compound which had 70-96% similarity with steroids, fatty acids, carboxylic acids, terpenoid, and proteins. The result of toxicity was 6344.54 ppm indicating not toxic. Conclusion: Padina sp. can be used as a raw material source for functional food and pharmaceutical industry. DOI: 10.18502/jfqhc.8.4.8259
