Green Seaweed Analysis

Green Seaweed Analysis

Green seaweed is the largest seaweed. This group of seaweed varies in size and shape and includes unicellular (Chlamydomonas, desmids), colonial (Hydrodictyon, Volvox), filamentous (Spirogyra, Cladophora) and tubular (Acetabularia, Caulerpa, Ulva) forms. Green seaweed lives in aquatic environments. Like plants, green seaweed contains two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to boost sugar production. However, unlike plants, they are mainly aquatic. Photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b, carotene, and lutein I) are present in green algae in the same proportions as higher plants. Typical green algal cells can be motile or non-motile, with a central vacuole. The pigment contained in the plastid varies from species to species and is characterized by a two-layered cell wall of cellulose and pectin. Green seaweed are the most diverse algae, with 9000-12000 species growing in a variety of habitats.

Our Services

Our expertise in ion chromatography has enabled us to develop protocols for determining the composition of carbohydrates and other active components in green seaweeds. The analytical services we provide are tailored for the analysis of green seaweed. Please contact us if you would like to learn about the value of these types of algae.

  • Carbohydrate Composition of Green Seaweed
    In green seaweed, the main polysaccharides are cellulose, green algal sulfurized polysaccharides and mannans. The main components of green algae sulfurized polysaccharides are rhamnose, xylose and glucuronic acid. Our scientists applied autoclave for the analysis of lignin and structural sugars (cellulose and hemicellulose) content in red algae samples.
  • Qualitative Analysis of Phytochemical Substances in Green Seaweed Extracts
    Phytochemical screening was performed to identify major natural chemical groups such as alkaloids, terpenes, steroids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, coumarins, quinones and glycosides. We provide corresponding assays, generally to determine the presence or absence of these compounds in the different species of green algae extracts tested.
    • Test alkaloids
    • Test for terpenoids
    • Test steroids
    • Test for tannins
    • Saponin test
    • Test for flavonoids
