Nutritional composition of edible seaweed Gracilaria changgi
Gracilaria changgi, an edible seaweed was analyzed to determine its proximate chemical composition, mineral elements, vitamin C, b-carotene, free fatty acid and amino acid contents. G. changgi showed vitamin A activity of 865 mg rectinol equivalents/100 g sample. It contained a higher composition of unsaturated fatty acids (74%), mainly the omega fatty acids and 26% of saturated fatty acids (ma...
متن کاملGreen Synthesis of Magnetite (Fe3O4) Nanoparticles Using Seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) Extract
In this study, a simple, rapid, and eco-friendly green method was introduced to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) successfully. Seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (K. alvarezii) was employed as a green reducing and stabilizing agents. The synthesized Fe3O4-NPs were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ...
متن کاملThe introduced alga Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty ex P.C. Silva, 1996) in abandoned cultivation sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama
The red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty ex P.C. Silva, 1996) has been intentionally introduced throughout the tropics for mariculture. In some cases, the alga has spread outside cultivation sites and impacts native biota. We conducted surveys of two sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama, where non-native K. alvarezii was previously cultivated to determine whether it is established and began to exami...
متن کاملAntioxidant and antibacterial activity of red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii against pathogenic bacteria
Seaweeds can produce variety of bioactive components for the benefits of humans. Malaysia is one of the countries to produce red seaweeds, which are popular secondary metabolites. Kappaphycus species, largest tropical red algae exhibit the high growth rate. It was reported that its biomass can grow double in just 15 to 30 days. Therefore, this investigation emphasized on two extraction...
متن کاملChanges of Photosynthetic Behaviors in Kappaphycus alvarezii Infected by Epiphyte
Epiphytic filamentous algae (EFA) were noted as a serious problem to reduce the production and quality of K. alvarezii. The morphological studies revealed that the main epiphyte on K. alvarezii was Neosiphonia savatieri in China. Though the harmful effects of EFA on the production of K. alvarezii have been reported, the detailed mechanism of the N. savatieri in limiting the production of K. alv...
