Red macroalgae are the basis of many commercially important food, pharmaceutical and other important industries. Research on these species has generally focused on improving seaweed cultivation, developing new methods to extract useful compounds or identifying new applications. In our study, the biochemical contents (total protein, carbohydrate and total phenolic substance) of Pterocladiella capillacea algae collected from the Black Sea were determined. In addition, antioxidant activity of P. capillacea species extracted by Soxhlet and ultrasonic-assisted maceration methods was investigated using 2 different methods (DPPH scavenging and iron reduction). The carbohydrate value of P. capillacea dry biomass was determined as 42% and protein value as 17%. In our study, where the effect of the extraction method on antioxidant activity and total phenolic substance was evaluated, it was determined that the Soxhlet method was more effective in total phenolic substance and iron reduction tests, while the ultrasonic-assisted maceration method was more effective in DPPH scavenging activity. In conclusion, the high carbohydrate content of P. capillacea species collected from the Black Sea (Türkiye) coasts and its potential use as a source of bioactive compounds causing antioxidant activity were highlighted.

Pterocladiella Capillacea Alginin Biyokimyasal İçeriğinin ve Antioksidan Aktivitesinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Kırmızı makroalgler, ticari açıdan önemli birçok gıda, ilaç ve diğer önemli endüstrinin temelini oluşturur. Bu türler üzerine yapılan araştırmalar genellikle deniz yosunu yetiştiriciliğini iyileştirmeye, yararlı bileşikleri çıkarmak için yeni yöntemler geliştirmeye veya yeni uygulamalar belirlemeye odaklanmıştır. Çalışmamızda Karadeniz’den toplanan Pterocladiella capillacea alginin biyokimyasal içerikleri (toplam protein, karbonhidrat ve toplam fenolik madde) belirlendi. Ayrıca soxhlet ve ultrasonik destekli maserasyon yöntemleriyle ekstrakte edilen P. capillacea türünün 2 farklı metodla (DPPH süpürme ve demir indirgeme) kullanılarak antioksidan aktivitesi araştırılmıştır. P. capillacea kuru biyokütlesinin karbonhidrat değeri %42, protein değeri %17 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ekstraksiyon metodunun antioksidan aktivite ve toplam fenolik madde üzerindeki etkisinin değerlendirildiği çalışmamızda toplam fenolik madde ve demir indirgeme testinde soxhlet metodunun, DPPH süpürme aktivitesinde ultrasonik destekli maserasyon metodunun daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Karadeniz (Türkiye) kıyılarından toplanan P. capillacea türünün yüksek karbonhidrat içeriğine sahip olduğu ve antioksidan aktiviteye neden olan biyoaktif bileşik kaynağı olarak potansiyel kullanımını vurgulanmıştır.
