摘要
Genus Pyropia is one of the nutritionally rich marine algae. Among Indian Pyropia species, Pyropia acanthophora has been documented as a new addition with its new variety robusta. Biodiversity assessment revealed that P. acanthophora var. robusta reported only on the central west coast of India during monsoon (June to September). The nutritional composition of the collected samples was evaluated for proximate analysis along with vitamin C, dietary fiber, pigments, minerals, and fatty acid composition. The protein content was in the range of 14.11 +/- 0.62 to 18.36 +/- 0.90 g (100 g)(-1) dry wt. Lipid content ranged from 1.65 +/- 0.25 to 2.56 +/- 0.40 g (100 g)(-1) dry wt., and the concentrations of PUFA among these lipids were found in considerable quantity. Dietary fiber was also obtained in high concentration and ranged from 45.13 +/- 1.30 to 63.0 +/- 4.40 g (100 g)(-1) dry wt. In this study, the level of K, Na, Mg, Fe, I, and P were appreciably high. Thus, the nutritional analysis of P. acanthophora var. robusta confirmed that it has potential to be used as an ingredient for nutritional supplements.
