Abstract:

 The excessive proliferation of green algae in aquatic ecosystems threatens aquatic life, leading to oxygen depletion and water pollution. This study investigates two common green algae species, Ulva sp. and Cladophora sp., with potential in terms of protein and phenolic compounds. Cladophora sp. and Ulva sp. extracts were analyzed for total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteau method. Despite lower phenolic content compared to specific plant species, both algae species exhibit various phenolic compounds. GC-MS analysis indicates the presence of major compounds such as limonene in Cladophora sp. and Tetradec-1-ene in Ulva sp., suggesting potential applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Despite modest protein amounts, the study emphasizes that algae, aligned with the increasing interest in plant-based nutrition, are a promising source for plant-based protein production. Ulva sp. and Cladophora sp. algae demonstrate potential as alternative protein sources and reservoirs of bioactive phenolic compounds from waste sources. This study pioneers further research in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries to contribute to sustainable water resource utilization.

 Su ekosistemlerinde yeşil alglerin aşırı çoğalması sudaki yaşamı tehdit ederek oksijen tükenmesine ve su kirliliğine yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışma, protein ve fenolik bileşikler açısından potansiyeli olan iki yaygın yeşil alg türü olan Ulva sp. ve Cladophora sp.yi incelemektedir. Cladophora sp. ve Ulva sp. ekstraktları, toplam fenolik içeriği Folin-Ciocalteau yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Fenolik içerik, belirli bitki türleriyle kıyaslandığında düşük olmasına rağmen, her iki alg türü de çeşitli fenolik bileşiklere sahiptir. GC-MS analizi, Cladophora sp.de limonen ve Ulva sp.de Tetradec-1-en gibi ana bileşiklerin tespit edildiğini göstererek, bunların farmasötik ve kozmetik uygulamalarda kullanılabileceğini işaret etmektedir. Çalışma, beslenme alanındaki artan ilgiye paralel olarak, mütevazı protein miktarlarına rağmen, alglerin bitkisel bazlı protein üretimi için umut verici bir kaynak olduğunu vurgular. Ulva sp. ve Cladophora sp. algleri, atık kaynaklardan elde edilebilecek alternatif protein kaynakları ve biyoaktif fenolik bileşik rezervuarları olarak potansiyel gösterir. Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilir su kaynakları kullanımına katkı sağlamak amacıyla gıda, ilaç ve kozmetik endüstrilerinde daha fazla keşfe öncülük etmektedir.
