“…The ratio values of essential to nonessential amino acids were 0.69, 0.59 and 0.61 implying good proteins quality (Table 1). In most seaweeds aspartic and glutamic acids constitute together a large part of the amino acids fraction and were responsible in addition to alanine and glycine for their special flavor and taste (Peng et al, 2013). These findings were in accordance with (Fleurence, 1999) who concluded that seaweeds, especially Chlorophyceae & Rhodophyceae, could be a complementary source of food proteins for human and animal nutrition and their amino acids content was of nutritional interest.…”

The present study investigated the biochemical composition of three seaweeds; Ulva fasciata (Chlorophyta), Sargassum linifolium (Phaeophyta) and Corallina officinalis (Rhodophyta). Total chlorophyll content was maximum in U. fasciata (34.06mg/g dry wt.) while carotenoid content was the highest in C. officinalis (3.8 mg/g dry wt.). The uppermost level of carbohydrates was (27.98% of dry wt.) in C. officinalis and proteins were maximum (14.89%) in S. linifolium. Aspartic, glutamic, alanine, leucine and proline were common amino acids in the three tested species. The polyunsaturated ω6 and ω3 essential fatty acids were recorded in S. linifolium (3.28%) and in U. fasciata (3.18%). The results showed that U. fasciata contained the highest amounts of lipids (2.96%), phenols (11.95mgGA/g dry wt.), flavonoid (7.04 mgCA/g dry wt.) and ascorbic acid (4.11mg/100g), respectively. β-Carotene was maximum (3940.12 IU/100 g) in C. officinalis. DPPH antioxidant activities were the highest in U. fasciata (81.3%) followed by S. linifolium (79.8%) then C. officinalis (72.6%). Among the 12 analyzed minerals, most of them were high in S. linifolium in which ion quotient ratio was the smallest (0.343). Since these algal species are common in the Egyptian coastal waters, their biochemical composition and antioxidant activities made them promising candidates for nutritional, pharmaceutical and medicinal applications.Keywords: seaweeds; biochemical composition; elemental analysis; antioxidant activity.Practical Application: Seeking for new supplies for food, feed, drugs and treatments Macroalgae (seaweeds) proved to be safe, economic and eco-friendly natural sources for multi-purpose applications.

“…The dried weight and crude protein of Sargassum in this trial is similar with Sargassum spp. from Casas-Valdez et al (2006) (89 and 8%, respectively), but protein was lower than S. naozhouense (11.2%) (Peng et al, 2013). Although the pH and temperature did not affect the protein of the S. linearifolium, the effect on protein is similar to Porphyra , the S. podacanthum reduced protein shown a negatively affect by the high temperature and low pH.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the nutrient content, phytonutrient composition, physicochemical properties, alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase inhibition activity and antioxidant activity of the brown algae Stoechospermum marginatum collected from Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu, India in pre monsoon season (June- September, 2015). Six and eight hours of ethanol and aqueous extract of Stoechospermum marginatum were used for phytonutrient screening, alpha amylase, alpha glucosidase inhibition activity and antioxidant activity. From the results of the study it is understood that Stoechospermum marginatum contain a high amount of carbohydrate, protein, crude fiber and phytonutrients like tannin, flavonoid, saponin, alkaloid, terpenoids, steroid and total phenolic content. The physicochemical properties namely Water absorption and Swelling power were very promising. Alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase inhibition activity was recorded to be high in both aqueous and ethanol extracts of eight hour extraction than in extracts taken from six hours extraction. Antioxidant activity was detected using DPPH, FRAP, beta carotene scavenging and H2O2 assay and found to have a high radical scavenging activity. Stoechospermum marginatum possess a valuable amount of total phenolic content and other phytonutrients and physicochemical properties, it may the reason for the potential inhibition of alpha amylase, alpha glucosidase and antioxidant activity. It is concluded from the study that the brown algae may be incorporated into foods to enhance their nutritional and therapeutic value.
