Characterization of Fatty Acids, Polysaccharides, Amino Acids, and Minerals in Marine Macroalga Chaetomorpha crassa and Evaluation of Their Potentials in Skin Cosmetics

Abstract

Cosmetic industries are highly committed to finding natural sources of functional active constituents preferable to safer materials to meet consumers’ demands. Marine macroalgae have diversified bioactive constituents and possess potential benefits in beauty care products. Hence, the present study was carried out to characterize the biochemical profile of marine macroalga Chaetomorpha crassa by using different techniques for revealing its cosmetic potentials. In results, the FTIR study characterized the presence of different bioactive functional groups that are responsible for many skin-beneficial compounds whereas six and fifteen different important phycocompounds were found in GCMS analysis of ethanolic and methanolic extracts, respectively. In the saccharide profile of C. crassa, a total of eight different carbohydrate derivatives were determined by the HRLCMS Q-TOF technique, which showed wide varieties of cosmetic interest. In ICP AES analysis, Si was found to be highest whereas Cu was found to be lowest among other elements. A total of twenty-one amino acids were measured by the HRLCMS-QTOF technique, which revealed the highest amount of the amino acid, Aspartic acid (1207.45 nmol/mL) and tyrosine (106.77 nmol/mL) was found to be the lowest in amount among other amino acids. Their cosmetic potentials have been studied based on previous research studies. The incorporation of seaweed-based bioactive components in cosmetics has been extensively growing due to its skin health-promoting effects.

RNA-seq analysis of green tea polyphenols modulation of differently expressed genes in Enterococcus faecalis under low pH

“…Metabolites produced by the breakdown of amino acids each follow a different characteristic of sugar or lipid metabolism pathway, and finally release energy (Kalasariya et al . 2021). The previous study has shown that amino acids can also be used as energy sources by E. faecalis (Alomar et al .…”

“…A recent study shows that branched amino acids protect the liver from cirrhosis by inhibiting the activation of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, tolllike receptor 4, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and E. faecalis translocation (Akiko et al 2021). Metabolites produced by the breakdown of amino acids each follow a different characteristic of sugar or lipid metabolism pathway, and finally release energy (Kalasariya et al 2021). The previous study has shown that amino acids can also be used as energy sources by E. faecalis (Alomar et al 2008).…”

Benefícios Gerados a Partir Da Utilização Das Algas

“…No mercado de cosméticos e indústrias farmacêuticas as algas estão presentes em tratamentos para a pele e cuidados com o corpo. Devido à alta preocupação da sociedade com a beleza estética e natural, as indústrias se atentaram na demanda de produtos assintéticos, assim, aumentaram sua rentabilidade explorando ainda mais a aquicultura (PÉREZ-VAS; GUILLÉN; ENRÍQUEZ-DÍAZ, 2021), em especial com as algas, que possuem grandes propriedades químicas que auxiliam nos cuidados com o corpo, na manutenção das funções da pele, são anti-inflamatórias e também têm fatores antitumorais (KALASARIYA et al, 2021). O estudo realizado apontou que a função do hidroperóxido 1-metilhexil, presentes nas macroalgas, é atuar como antioxidante e ter ação antimicrobiana, contribuindo para a manutenção de uma pele saudável (KALASARIYA et al, 2021).…”

“…Semelhantes resultados, em relação ao comércio positivo, foram encontrados nos estudos relacionados a produção de cosméticos a base de algas marinhas que, devido ao seu grande potencial benéfico e possibilidades de cultivo (VEGA et al, 2020), tem ganhado evidência para investimento nas indústrias de cosméticos (KALASARIYA et al, 2021).…”

“…In the same way, the amino acids and peptides present play important roles in action as antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antihypertensive, opioid, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and mineral binding agents [39]. Thus, the attained phenolic-rich extract has bioactive properties that may be interesting in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications [4,40].…”
