Description
Summary:Macroalgae are primary producers supporting marine ecosystems by providing food and oxygen. Industrially, they are valuable as raw materials or additives in products such as pharmaceuticals, health supplements, cosmetics, food and animal feed. The aim of this research is to know the nutritional composition of two species of macroalgae from Mamburit Island, including proximate, vitamin, and dietary fiber. The content of carbohydrate of Sargassum sp. and Padina sp. was 73.5 % and 66. 8 %. Moisture, ash, fat and protein content of Sargassum were 8.5 %, 2.6 %, 0.5 % and 4.3 %, and the content of moisture, ash, fat and protein from Padina were 9.7 %, 2.9 %, 0.6 %, and 4.3 %. Vitamin C and dietary fiber content were 1.5 mg/100g and 10.3 % of Sargassum sp., 2,5 mg/100g and 15.5 % of Padina sp. These findings highlight the potential of these macroalgae as nutrient rich resources.
