Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of macroalgae ( , , ) and microalgae ( (Sp1, Sp2), ) extracts, including micro- and macroelement transition to extract, antioxidant, antimicrobial properties, the concentrations of chlorophyll (-a, -b), and the total carotenoid concentration (TCC). In macroalgae, the highest TCC and chlorophyll content were found in . In microalgae, the TCC was 10.1-times higher in than in Sp1, Sp2; however, the chlorophyll contents in samples were lower. A moderate negative correlation was found between the chlorophyll-a and TCC contents (r = -0.4644). In macroalgae extract samples, and showed the highest total phenolic compound content (TPCC). DPPH antioxidant activity and TPCC in microalgae was related to the TCC (r = 0.6191, r = 0.6439, respectively). Sp2 extracts inhibited ; , , , and Sp2 extracts inhibited and extracts inhibited strains. This study showed that extraction is a suitable technology for toxic metal decontamination in algae; however, some of the desirable microelements are reduced during the extraction, and only the final products, could be applied in food, feed, and others.
