Mutagenic potential of Cordia ecalyculata alone and in association with Spirulina maxima for their evaluation as candidate anti-obesity drugs.
Obesity is one of the most important nutritional disorders, and can be currently considered as an epidemic. Although there are few weight reduction drugs available on the market, some new drug candidates have been proposed, including Cordia ecalyculata, a Brazilian plant with anorectic properties, and Spirulina maxima, a cyanobacterium with antioxidant and anti-genotoxic activity. In this study...
متن کاملAntioxidant activity of the microalga Spirulina maxima.
Spirulina maxima, which is used as a food additive, is a microalga rich in protein and other essential nutrients. Spirulina contains phenolic acids, tocopherols and beta-carotene which are known to exhibit antioxidant properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of a Spirulina extract. The antioxidant activity of a methanolic extract of Spirulina was determi...
متن کاملOptimization of Biomass Production of Spirulina maxima
Spirulina maxima is known to be useful to man in virtually all aspects of life including health, food and cosmetics. In the present study, we set out to investigate how a combination of a set of parameters, namely temperature, light intensity, pH and agitation, affect maximum production of biomass, chlorophyll a and protein. Through manipulating environmental condition of the algal growth, one ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Growth Yield of Spirulina maxima in Photobioreactors
Microalgae biomass has become a valuable material, the attractiveness of which is familiar to a wider group of customers, not only as a biomass (a prepared product), but also as a raw material for the production of a number of valuable substances like ethanol, hydrogen, hormones, biostimulants, and many other. Human nutrition, animal feeding, biofuel production, and sustainable agriculture – th...
متن کاملGlycogen and poly-P-hydroxybutyrate synthesis in Spirulina maxima
The effect of different growth conditions on the glycogen and poly-/I-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) content of the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima is described. Under photoautotrophic growth conditions without any nutrient limitation, S. maxima exhibited a glycogen content of between 7-1 and 10.7% of cell dry wt, whereas PHB was undetectable. When S. maxima was grown under mixotrophic conditions in the...
