Abstract: In this study, vitamin compositions were determined in culture conditions
of macroalgae (Ulva rigida, Gracilaria
gracilis, Sargassum vulgare, Cystoseira barbata and Dictyopteris membranacea) which are naturally distributed in our
waters in order to determine their potential usage in Thalassotherapy. The
results of vitamin analysis show that the algae are very rich in terms of
β-carotene (provitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and α-tocopherol (vitamin
E). According to the results, it was found that Gracilaria gracilis is the richest species in terms of β-carotene
(provitamin A) with the amount of 3.25 ± 0.41 mg 100 g -1, Ulva rigida is the richest species in
terms of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with the amount of 7.42 ± 0.67 mg 100 g -1
and Dictyopteris membranaceae is the richest species in terms of α-tocopherol
(vitamin E) with the amount of 5.03 ± 0.12 mg 100 g -1 among the
macroalgal species.
Öz: Bu çalışmada,
Thalassoterapi’de kullanım potansiyelini belirlemek amacıyla sularımızda doğal
olarak dağılım gösteren makroalg türlerimizin (Ulva rigida, Gracilaria
gracilis, Sargassum vulgare, Cystoseira barbata ve Dictyopteris
membranacea) kültür koşullarında vitamin kompozisyonları belirlenmiştir.
Vitamin analiz sonuçları alglerin β-karoten (provitamin A), askorbik asit
(vitamin C) ve α- tokoferol (vitamin E) yönünden zengin olduğunu
göstermektedir. β-karoten (provitamin A) yönünden en zengin 3.25 ± 0.41 mg.100 g-1 miktarıyla Gracilaria
gracilis bulunurken vitamin C (askorbik asit) yönünden en zengin 7.42
± 0.67 mg.100 g-1 miktarıyla Ulva
rigida bulunmuştur. Alfa (α) - tokoferol (vitamin E) yönünden en zengin tür
ise 5.03 ± 0.12 mg.100 g-1
miktarıyla Dictyopteris membranacea ’dir.
