The present study describes the content of total lipids (TL), the main components of polar and neutral lipids (NL) and photosynthetic pigments (PSP) in edible seaweed Sargassum pallidum (Ochrophyta) from the Sea of Japan, Russia, in different months of the year, taking into account life cycle. Special attention was paid to the fatty acids (FAs) of total lipids as well as the accumulation of important polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in glyceroglycolipids (GL) and reserve lipids in the seasonal cycles of growth. The content of TL strongly varied in the course of a year. The major lipid components were GL (20.3% -36.4%) and NL (19.8% -30.6%), while phospholipids (PL) were present in negligible amounts (3.2% -6.9%). Significant seasonal variations were observed in content all classes of lipids. The PUFAs prevailed in total lipids and the content of n-6 PUFAs was higher than n-3 PUFAs on all stages of life with the exception of vegetation period. Monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglecerols (DGDG) were rich in PUFAs and n-3 PUFAs were dominated among them independently of stages of growth. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) were dominated in sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerols (SQDG). Triacylglycerols (TAG) and diacylglycerols (DAG) contained many PUFAs, especially n-6 PUFAs. Significant concentration 20:3 n-6 was in the triacylglycerols. The concentration of chlorophylls and carotenoids was increased with the growth and maturation of S. pallidum and reached maximum in period of highest day length and water temperature. The content of pigments decreased with the onset of short days and decreasing water temperatures. Nutritional value and benefit for health of human this alga were evaluated. The n-6/n-3 PUFAs ratio, nutritional quality index (atherogenic and thrombogenic indices, and ratio between hypocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic fatty acids) were low, suggesting a high nutritional value of S. pallidum throughout the year.

“…[17] [18] In the non-polar T. decurrens extract, sesquiterpene tanacetol A, previously identified in higher plants of T. vulgare [19] was tentatively identified. However, because of rather low intensity of the primary ion, thus lack of fragment ions in the MS/MS spectra, identity of this compound could not be confirmed, and, according to the literature, two other proposals for the compound identity exist.…”

The present study aims to focus on the bioprospecting of marine macroalgae of Turbinaria species, plenteous biomass of the world ocean. Three types of solvents, i.e., H 2 O, MeOH/H 2 O (80:20, v/v) and hexane/i-PrOH (50:50, v/v), were used for extraction. Both the biological activity and the pattern of present chemicals were characterized. For the cell proliferation assay, the human embryonic kidney 293 cells, cervix/breast/pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and osteosarcoma cells were used. For the antioxidant activity determination, both intracellular assay with human embryonic kidney and cervix adenocarcinoma cells, as well as the biochemical DPPH test, were employed. To complete the information about macroalgae composition, organic compounds were characterized by the liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Attention was concentrated mainly on the lipidomic profile characterization. In spite the fact that any significant antiproliferative effect was not observed for cancer cells, both the Turbinaria species were shown to be good protectors against the oxidative stress of the noncancer cells. Most of the antioxidants were determined in the hexane/i-PrOH extract. As regards the lipids identified, most of them belonged to the triacylglycerols followed by sphingomyelins, diacylglycerols, and polar (lyso) phospholipids. Additionally to fatty acids with 14, 16 and 18 carbons, also those with odd carbon numbers were frequently present.

“…Generally fucoxanthins are polygenic carotenoids with linear conjugated double bonds as observed for β-carotene ( Figure 1). Fucoxanthin is purported to have antioxidant (Sachindra et al, 2007;Airanthi et al, 2011;Fung et al, 2013), anti-inflammatory (Heo et al, 2008;Kim et al, 2010;Heo et al, 2012), anti-cancer (Miki, 1991;Miyashita et al, 2011), anti-obesity (Maeda et al, 2005;Gammone and D'Orazio, 2015), anti-diabetic Hosokawa et al, 2010;Nishikawa et al, 2012), hepatoprotective (Woo et al, 2010) and skin-protective effects (Heo and Jeon, 2009;Urikura et al, 2011). It therefore could be exploited for potential uses in both the pharmaceutical and food industries.…”
