Preliminary Phytochemical Determination And GC-MS Analysis of Methanolic Extract of Cladophora Glomarata (Green Marine Alga) | Chapter 5 | Research Aspects in Biological Science Vol. 4

 

Since ancient times, seaweeds have been a great source of physiologically active substances and phytochemicals including agar-agar, carrageenan, and algin, which are widely used in many sectors. Many Asian countries use various seaweeds in traditional medicine. In this work, the marine green alga Cladophora glomerata's methanolic extract was subjected to a preliminary phytochemical examination and GC-MS, which identified the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, saponin-like compounds, diterpenes, and carbohydrates. Dibutyl phthalate (27.07%), Hexadecenoic acid, methyl ester (9.58%), 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (8.11%), Octatriacontyl trifluoroacetate (6.71%), and cholesterol were the main substances (6.66 percent ). In order to enable ongoing investigations to assess the structure of bioactive chemicals and their pharmacological effects, the current phytochemical and GC-MS analysis of Cladophora glomerata gives essential new information.
