This study was designed to investigate the comparative in vivo cardiovascular protective effects of red, green, and brown tropical seaweeds, namely, Kappaphycus alvarezii (or Eucheuma cottonii), Caulerpa lentillifera, and Sargassum polycystum, in rats fed on high-cholesterol/high-fat (HCF) diets. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 260-300 g) on the HCF diet had significantly increased body weig...

Rumput laut merupakan salah satu komoditas ekonomi yang menjadi unggulan Indonesia dan jenis banyak dibudidayakan adalah Eucheuma cottonii (Kappaphycus alvarezii) spinosum. Usaha peningkatan produksinya dikembangkan melalui modifikasi metode budidaya untuk mencapai hasil produksi maksimal. Jarak tanam faktor berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan produksi.

The nutritional value of six tropical seaweeds (Sargassum wightii, Ulva lactuca, Kappaphycus alvarezii, Hypnea musciformis, Acanthophora spicifera and Gracilaria corticata) as complementary source of dietary proteins for human and animal nutrition based on amino acid profile was evaluated. All these species showed similar non-essential amino acid patterns in which aspartic and glutamic acids co...

Abstract Sterile and fresh tissues of three marine macroalgae red, green brown ( Kappaphycus alvarezii, striatus Padina gymnospora ) collected from Malaysia east costal seas were compared for the antioxidants polysaccharide composition sugars as well active components. Results obtained showed that polysaccharides isolated can be used a source natural antioxidant compounds they possess potential...

Five tropical seaweeds, Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty ex P.C. Silva, Padina australis Hauck, Sargassum binderi Sonder ex J. Agardh (syn. S. aquifolium (Turner) C. Agardh), Sargassum siliquosum J. Agardh and Turbinaria conoides (J. Agardh) Kützing, were incubated in seawater of pH 8.0, 7.8 (ambient), 7.6, 7.4 and 7.2, to study the effects of changing seawater pH on halocarbon emissions. Eigh...

Alginate impression material is a that often used in dentistry to produce study models. The main active ingredient the alginate sodium alginate, which can be obtained naturally from algae. turbulent water (Waters on village Agel, Situbondo) and structure of aliginate gluronic acid form gel influence viscosity porosity material. Purpose was analyze red algae Kappaphycus alvarezii. This laborator...
