Abstract
In this study, vitamin compositions were determined in culture conditions of macroalgae (Ulva rigida, Gracilaria gracilis, Sargassum vulgare, Cystoseira barbata and Dictyopteris membranacea) which are naturally distributed in our waters in order to determine their potential usage in Thalassotherapy. The results of vitamin analysis show that the algae are very rich in terms of β-carotene (provitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E). According to the results, it was found that Gracilaria gracilis is the richest species in terms of β-carotene (provitamin A) with the amount of 3.25 ± 0.41 mg 100 g -1 , Ulva rigida is the richest species in terms of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with the amount of 7.42 ± 0.67 mg 100 g -1 and Dictyopteris membranaceae is the richest species in terms of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) with the amount of 5.03 ± 0.12 mg 100 g -1 among the macroalgal species.
Özet
Bu çalışmada, Thalassoterapi’de kullanım potansiyelini belirlemek amacıyla sularımızda doğal olarak dağılım gösteren makroalg türlerimizin (Ulva rigida, Gracilaria gracilis, Sargassum vulgare, Cystoseira barbata ve Dictyopteris membranacea) kültür koşullarında vitamin kompozisyonları belirlenmiştir. Vitamin analiz sonuçları alglerin β-karoten (provitamin A), askorbik asit (vitamin C) ve α- tokoferol (vitamin E) yönünden zengin olduğunu göstermektedir. β-karoten (provitamin A) yönünden en zengin 3.25 ± 0.41 mg.100 g-1 miktarıyla Gracilaria gracilis bulunurken vitamin C (askorbik asit) yönünden en zengin 7.42 ± 0.67 mg.100 g-1 miktarıyla Ulva rigida bulunmuştur. Alfa (α) - tokoferol (vitamin E) yönünden en zengin tür ise 5.03 ± 0.12 mg.100 g-1 miktarıyla Dictyopteris membranacea ’dır.
