EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF TWO DIFFERENT SPECIES OF TURBINARIA
Hema Vijayan Pu, Lizzy Mathew
Abstract :
Seaweeds are one of the natural sources of many organic and inorganic substances which are of nutritive and nutraceutical value. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate and estimate the biochemical constituents of the selected metabolites of two species of Turbinaria, Viz, Turbinaria ornata and Turbinaria conoides of the class Phaeophyceae. Phytochemical screenings were done in hexane and methanolic extracts using standard procedures. Estimation of Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipid, Phenol and Flavonoids were also conducted. There were variations in the presence of metabolites in both the extracts of both the species of Turbinaria. It was found differences in the quantity of metabolites among the two species. Carbohydrate and protein content was found to be more in T. conoides, but quantity of lipid, phenol and flavonoid were more in T. ornata. Evluation of biochemical constituents can be attributed to the nutritive and bioactive properties of Turbinaria species.
