The amount of sargassum seaweed washed ashore on the beaches Africa, Brazil, Central America and Caribbean has increased to point where it become a social, environmental financial issue. This research evaluates potential for Sargassum spp. Mexican coast be used in production biomethane by estimating: a) stoichiometric methane (SMP), b) biochemical (BMP) c) biodegradability index (BI). use sigmo...

Rumput laut merupakan sumber daya hayati yang melimpah di perairan Indonesia tumbuh pada substrat bebatuan. memiliki potensi sebagai bahan pangan alternatif dengan nilai kandungan nutrisi besar. Sargassum rumput dalam kelas Phaeophyta atau coklat. coklat diketahui mempunyai (kadar karbohidrat, protein, lemak), mineral esensial dan juga mengandung senyawa bioaktif, berdasarkan hasil dari metabol...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Antitumor drug resistance and side effects of antitumor compounds are the most common problems in medicine. Therefore, finding new antitumor agents with low side effects could be interesting. This study was designed to assay antitumor activity of the extract from brown alga Sargassum oligocystum, gathered from Persian Gulf seashore, against K562 and Daudi human cancer ...

A detailed, methodical approach was used to synthesise silver and gold nanoparticles using two differently prepared aqueous extracts of the brown algae Sargassum incisifolium. The efficiency of the extracts in producing nanoparticles were compared to commercially available brown algal fucoidans, a major constituent of brown algal aqueous extracts. The nanoparticles were characterised using TEM,...

This study represents the first report on the chemical composition and biological activity of Trifolium angustifolium var. angustifolium. The major components of the essential oil were identified as hexatriacontene (23.0%), arachidic acid (15.5%) and α-selinene (10.0%). The main constituents of the fatty acid obtained from the petroleum ether extract were identified as palmitic acid (29.8%), li...

Vaccinium angustifolium, commonly known as the lowbush blueberry, is a rich source of flavonoids, with which various human physiological activities have been associated. The present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of the methanolic extract of V. angustifolium root extract (VAE) on high affinity immunoglobulin E receptor (FcɛRI) α chain antibody (CRA-1)-induced allergic reaction...

cales) are known to contain structurally unique secondary metabolites, such as plastoquinones, chromanols, a cyclopentenone, and polysaccharides. These compounds show various biological activities due to their unique structure. We previously reported that the methanolic extract of the brown alga, Sargassum micracanthum (KUETZING) ENDLICHER, “Togemoku” in Japanese, showed strong antioxidant acti...
