Screening of microalgae for antioxidant activities, carotenoids and phenolic contents

Screening of microalgae for antioxidant activities, carotenoids and phenolic contents

Ten different microalgal species were screened for their antioxidant activity using 2,2´- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay, both total phenolic and carotenoid contents were determined. The ethanolic extract of Oscillatoria sp. showed the highest antioxidant activity (69.1), while t...
