Antioxidant activity of some seaweed from the Gulf of Thailand

Antioxidant activity of some seaweed from the Gulf of Thailand

Four species of seaweed, Sargassum binderi Sonder, Amphiroa sp., Turbinaria conoides (J. Agardh) Küzting and Halimeda macroloba Decaisne, were collected from the Gulf of Thailand. Seaweeds were extracted with water or ethanol and examined for phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities by measurin...

Amornlerdpison D. Noiraksar T. Vacharapiyasophon P. Four species of seaweed, Sargassum binderi Sonder, Amphiroa sp., Turbinaria conoides (J. Agardh) Küzting and Halimeda macroloba Decaisne, were collected from the Gulf of Thailand. Seaweeds were extracted with water or ethanol and examined for phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities by measuring the scavenging activity of both ABTS and DPPH radicals. In general, the aqueous extracts (AE) showed higher antioxidant activities and phenolic contents than ethanolic extracts (EE). Therefore, AE were chosen for three additional assays: superoxide anion scavenging assay, anti-lipid peroxidation in liver homogenate and reducing power. T. conoides extract showed the highest antioxidation activity in all assays. Therefore, the dried T. conoides had a potential to antioxidative agent in nutraceutical products. © 2011 Friends Science Publishers. 2014-08-30T02:35:18Z 2014-08-30T02:35:18Z 2011 Article 15608530 http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-79951934131&partnerID=40&md5=0f5806a9f6508a84dceaaf218e5f0cb4 http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/handle/6653943832/3782 English
