ABSTRACT. Proximate composition of the three green seaweeds viz., Chaetomorpha aerea, Enteromorpha intestinalis, Enteromorpha compressa one brown seaweed Dictyota dichotoma and one red seaweed Gracilaria corticata was investigated by determination of protein, carbohydrates, lipid, moisture and ash content. In the present study, the total protein was recarded upper most in E. intestinalis and bare minimum in E. compressa. The maximum carbohydrates recorded in C. aerea and minimum in G. corticata. The lipid content was acquired upper limit in E. compressa and least in C. aerea. The ash and moisture content in following of 5 different seaweeds are as follows: 7.45mg/g, 3.91mg/g were recorded in the C. aerea, 8.52mg/g, 3.42mg/g in the E. intestinalis, 8.58mg/g, 3.75mg/g in the E. compressa, 9.47mg/g, 4.23mg/g in the D. dichotoma and 6.95mg/g, 3.98mg/g in G. corticata. The proximate composition of 5 different seaweed species exhibited high nutritional value for human consumption.

“…Caulerpa racemosa that have edible characteristic make people are easier to get the health benefit without many process.Edible marine algae, sometimes referred as seaweeds, have attracted a special interest as good sources of nutrients and one particular interesting feature is their richness in sulfated polysaccharides (SPs), the uses of which span from food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries to microbiology and biotechnology (Ren 1997in Wijesekara et al 2011). Source : Kumar et al (2011) According to research that conducted by Kumar et al (2011) The energy values obtained for Caulerpa racemosa contributed by carbohydrates and proteins because the total lipid content in Caulerpas racemosa were low (2,06% DW). Therefore, this algae is suitable for diet foods intended to reduce obesity.…”

“…10 g Caulerpa racemosa powder provides approximately 60% of recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium and 43% of magnesium for an adult male. Calcium which functions as a cofactor for many extracellular enzymes and well known for strengthening the bones,teeth structure and muscle contraction (Kumar et al 2011). Zn and Cu are essential cofactor for enzyme systems(cytochrome C-oxidase), stabilises membrane, hormones and nucleic acids (Norziah and Ching 2000).…”

The higher public awareness of the health in community would made the view of some people for food has shifted, not only as relieving hunger, but also can provide a real impact for health. This phenomenon has resulted a term what is called functional food'. Functional food is defined as food which contain active compounds that play a role in increasing endurance, minimize the risk of attack of certain diseases and to provide maximum health benefits. One of marine resource that have a potency to develop as functional foods is Caulerpa racemosa. Caulerpa racemosa is one of green seaweed that grows naturally in the waters of Indonesia. Caulerpa racemosa found growing on coral substrate or a substrate of sand-rubble. Caulerpa racemosa is edible or can be consumed by humans. Caulerpa racemosa from Indonesia contains high insoluble dietary fiber. Insoluble dietary fiber contains cellulose and hemicellulose, who plays an important role in preventing constipation, colitis and hemmoroid. In other hand Caulerpa racemosa can also produce secondary metabolites, including antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that are capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation processes that are beneficial to health.

The present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity in ethanol and water extracts of root and stem of Sargassum coreanum. Antioxidant activities were evaluated by total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, chelating effect, reducing power, and rancimat method. Total polyphenol contents of ethanol and water extracts were 32.79 mg/g and 15.55 mg/g, respectively. Ethanol extract showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than water extract and similar activity to BHT. Reducing power of extracts was increased in a concentration-dependent manner and ethanol extract had more reducing power than water extract. Ethanol and water extracts have little chelating effect at all concentrations. Antioxidant index (AI) of ethanol extract measured by Rancimat was higher than that of water extract, but their AI was lower than that of BHT. These results indicate that ethanol extract of S. coreanum root and stem has more potent antioxidant activity than water extract through DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power, and could potentially be used as a good source of natural antioxidants.
