“…The aspartic acid and glutamic acid were the most abundant AAs, representing up to 24% of the total U. clathrata crude protein (11.1-11.5 and 10.9-12.8 g 100 g À1 protein respectively) with close values for MSS and LSS samples. This agrees with observations by other authors for other Ulva and Enteromorpha species (Ortiz et al, 2006;Taboada, Millán, & Míguez, 2009;Wong & Cheung, 2000). According to Mabeau and Fleurence (1993), the high levels of aspartic and glutamic acids are responsible for the special flavour and taste of the seaweed.…”

“…LSS sample presented less TL than MSS samples (2.2% vs 3% dw), but remained well inside the 95% confidence interval as defined for MSS samples (0.9-5.2%). These values fall within the range already reported for different Ulva species (0.2-5.6%) (Aguilera- Morales et al, 2005;Marsham et al, 2007;McDermid & Stuercke, 2003;Ortiz et al, 2006;Taboada et al, 2009;Valente et al, 2006;Ventura & Castañón, 1998;Wong & Cheung, 2000).…”

“…Storage occurs as inorganic nitrogen ðNO À 3 and NH þ 4 Þ and organic compounds, amino acids and proteins. Similar AAs yields were found for U. lactuca (89% of crude protein) by Wong and Cheung (2000) and for U. rigida (78%) by Taboada et al (2009).…”

“…EAA/NEAA ratio values were significantly higher in MSS samples (0.71-0.73) than in LSS sample (0.66). These ratios were lower than U. rigida EAA/NEAA ratio (1.0) reported by Taboada et al (2009).…”

a b s t r a c tSamples of cultivated Ulva clathrata were collected from a medium scale system (MSS, 1.5 Â 1.5 m tank), or from a large scale system (LSS, 0.8 ha earthen pond). MSS samples were dried directly while the LSS sample was washed in freshwater and pressed before drying. Crude protein content ranged 20-26%, essential amino acids accounting for 32-36% of crude protein. The main analysed monosaccharides were rhamnose (36-40%), uronic acids (27-29%), xylose (10-13%) and glucose (10-16%). Some notable variations between MSS and LSS samples were observed for total dietary fibre (26% vs 41%), saturated fatty acids (31% vs 51%), PUFAS (33% vs 13%), carotenoids (358 vs 169 mg kg À1 dw) and for Ca (9 vs 19 g kg ). The chemical composition of U. clathrata indicates that it has a good potential for its use in human and animal food.

“…Specifically, protein and peptides of marine origin are widely studied and found to have potential biomedical applications [3]. Such wide range of application is credited in account of plenty of essential amino acids present in their constitution [4]. Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are found in very high abundance (around 60% of the total protein content and 20% of the dry cell weight) in cyanobacteria [5].…”

Aging research has made significant progress over recent years, particularly after the formulation of 'Oxidative stress theory of aging'. According to this theory, aging and its associated abnormalities may be prevented, at least to some extent, by application of certain antioxidants. Cyanobacterial phycobiliproteins (PBPs), the major light harvesting pigment proteins are widely characterized for their in vivo and in vitro antioxidant activity. Since, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered as important factors to cause aging, PBPs can be used as an effective free radical scavengers and be a potent candidate to develop the anti-aging drug. The use of PBPs in preventing the oxidative stress mediated abnormalities or aging is rationally debated. The present review enlightens the recent advances in the field of antioxidant function of PBPs and major challenges in the application of these pigment proteins in anti-aging research. Also included is the possible mechanism behind the anti-aging capacity of these ecologically as well as economically important biomolecules.
