In vitro antioxidant activities of selected seaweeds from Southeast coast of India

Abstract

The seaweeds could be considered for curing diseases from oxidative deteriorations.

Isolation of Nine Microorganisms from Rotten <i>Dioscorea rotundata</i> (White Yam) and Antimicrobial Sensitivity Test with Five Plant Extracts

“…The organism Serratia marcescens was resistant to the extracts, showing only mild sensitivity with Daniella oliveri, Ceiba pentandra, Jatropha tanjorensis extracts at undiluted concentrations only. This finding is in agreement with earlier report by [29] [30].…”

<b><i>In vitro</i> evaluation of antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts obtained from seaweeds endemic to the coast of Ceará, Brazil

“…Statistical significance was, however, observed in all tested concentrations (p < 0.05) among all algal species based on individual absorbance. On the other hand, results of reducing power reported here are much lower than those cited for a variety of seaweeds, such as Enteromorpha compressa (Ganesan et al, 2011), Kappaphycus alvarezii , and Turbinaria conoides (Devi et al, 2011).…”

Seasonal variations in the phenolic compound content and antioxidant activities of three selected species of seaweeds from Tiskerth islet, Bejaia, Algeria

“…Some studies showed also a low activity in water extracts [47][48]. However, water extracts generally had higher ferrous chelating activity than 70% acetone extracts and no correlation was found with this TPC, suggesting other components such as polysaccharides, proteins or peptides in the extracts [49]. Our result is in accordance with this study, which also reported a high Fe2+ chelating activity of water extracts, specially with the brown algae H. scoparia wich attained the highest activity (FIC) during the three seasons comparing with S. coronopifolius wich had the highest total phenolic content.…”
