Özet
The nutritional properties of five different green macroalgae including Ulva rigida,
Chaetomorpha linum, Codium fragile, Caulerpa prolifera and Caulerpa racemosa f.
requienii from Turkey were investigated. The chemical composition of green
macroalgae was varied, with ash, crude fiber, protein, lipid and carbohydrate ranging
from 40.71 to 52.82%, 12.02-17.56%, 4.40-26.19%, 0.57-3.85% and 4.58-42.28% in dry
weight, respectively. The fatty acid contents of the algae were quite variable and
palmitic acid (C16) was found to be the primary fatty acid for all the samples with a
value of more than 49.61%. Palmitic acid was followed by oleic acid, which is a
monounsaturated fatty acid. This study revealed that green algae are rich in important
soluble carbohydrates such as myo-inositol and glucose, health promoting
unsaturated fatty acids (mainly oleic acid) and essential macroelements such as
potassium, magnesium and microelements such as iron, zinc and selenium. The results
of the current study contribute to a better understanding of macroalgae and
encourage their use in food-related applications.
