Invasive Biomass Algae Valorization: Rugulopteryx okamurae as a Sustainable Source of Natural Antioxidants
Monsif El Madany et al.
Abstract:Antioxidant activityPigments content, total phenolics (TPC) and total flavonoids (TFC), as well as the antioxidant activity (AA) of ethyl acetate (EtOAc), methanol, and chloroform extracts of Rugulopteryx okamurae were measured to find novel potential sources of natural pigments and antioxidants. The extraction of chlorophylls (a, b, c, and d), carotenoid, fucoxanthin, and phycobiliproteins was carried out using six solvents, namely acetone 90%, dimethyl sulfoxide-water (4: 1, v/ v), pure methanol, and pH 6.8 … Show more
