  • Nutritional Value of Seaweeds and Their Potential Pharmacological Role of Polyphenolics Substances: a Review
    © 2018 JETIR August 2018, Volume 5, Issue 8 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF SEAWEEDS AND THEIR POTENTIAL PHARMACOLOGICAL ROLE OF POLYPHENOLICS SUBSTANCES: A REVIEW Arumugam Abirami, Selvaraj Uthra and Muthuvel Arumugam* Faculty of Marine Sciences, CAS in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Parangipettai-608 502, Tamil Nadu, India. ABSTRACT : seaweed shows extensive species diversity with inevitable ecological importance on marine biodiversity. It creates a unique marine ecosystem that acts as a shelter or nursery ground for marine organisms. Moreover, seaweeds are considered as vital sea food due to their richness of various food ingredients such as polysaccharides, dietary fiber, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, etc. They are available in different colors due to the presence of distinct pigments such as chlorophyll, fucoxanthin and phycoerythrin. In traditional Indian medical system, the dried or processed seaweeds are consumed as promising natural medicine for the treatment of various ailments. Seaweed contains various polyphenolic substances such as phlorotannins, phloroglucinol, eckol, dieckol, fucodiphloroethol, 7-phloroeckol, phlorofucofuroeckol and bieckol, which play a major role in human health. The preclinical studies proved that these compounds possess antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant activities and also reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The present review deals with the nutritional value of seaweed and the importance of polyphenolic substances. Key words: Seaweeds, phytochemistry, functional foods, polyphenolics, health benefits. INTRODUCTION As there is an increasing demand for search of therapeutic drugs from natural products, there is now a superior concern in marine organisms, especially seaweeds. It serves as a primary producer in water ecosystem and has both ecological and economic value.

World needs more and more energy. Increase in population also increases demand for energy and world is always looking for new energetic solutions that would ensure adequate global energy supply. There are also times when global energy demand is experiencing decline (global financial crisis, global recession) but these are only temporary happenings, and once they finish hunger for more energy is even bigger than it was before these temporary situations. Renewable energy sector has one very big advantage over fossil fuels, the fact that it is highly ecologically acceptable compared to fossil fuels. Because renewable energy sources release very little CO2 emissions into atmosphere compared to fossil fuels as the convincingly biggest pollutants. Renewable energy sector should be heavily building on this big advantage to ensure energy dominance in coming years. Keywords: PKL, Species, Medicinal Value, pH I.INTRODUCTION Bryophyllum pinnatum has become naturalized in tropical and subtropical areas, including parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, Philippines Macaronesia, Mascarenes, Galapagos Islands, Melanesia, Polynesia, and Hawaii[1-3].In many of these, such as Hawaii, it is regarded as an invasive species[4-6].

Received: 18 June 2014; in revised form: 5 September 2014 / Accepted: 15 September 2014 / Published: 25 September 2014 Abstract: Marine environment has proven to be a rich source of structurally diverse and complex compounds exhibiting numerous interesting biological effects. Macroalgae are currently being explored as novel and sustainable sources of bioactive compounds for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Given the increasing prevalence of different forms of dementia, researchers have been focusing their attention on the discovery and development of new compounds from macroalgae for potential application in neuroprotection. Neuroprotection involves multiple and complex mechanisms, which are deeply related. Therefore, compounds exerting neuroprotective effects through different pathways could present viable approaches in the management of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. In fact, several studies had already provided promising insights into the neuroprotective effects of a series of compounds isolated from different macroalgae species. This review will focus on compounds from macroalgae that exhibit neuroprotective effects and their potential application to treat and/or prevent neurodegenerative diseases.

The brown alga Ecklonia cava Kjellman, an edible seaweed, contains many bioactives such as phlorotannins and fucoidans. Here, we evaluated the antioxidative, neuroprotective, and anti-apoptotic effects of E. cava extract (ECE), E. cava phlorotannin-rich extract (ECPE), and the phlorotannin dieckol on neuronal PC-12 cells. The antioxidant capacities of ECPE and ECE were 1,711.5 and 1,050.4 mg vitamin C equivalents/g in the ABTS assay and 704.0 and 474.6 mg vitamin C equivalents/g in the DPPH assay, respectively.

    Wildland Weeds WINTER/SPRING 2012 Want to Hunt Down Invasive Plants in Your Forest? There’s an App for That… USDA Forest Service Research and Development Announces New Invasive Plants iPhone App On February 1, USDA Forest Service Research and Development at the Southern Research Station (SRS) Director Rob Doudrick announced the release of the first version of a new iPhone/iPad app designed to help southern forest land owners and managers identify and manage nonnative invasive plants in the field. This is the first ever iPhone/ iPad application developed by the world’s largest forest research organization, USDA Forest Service Research and Development. Funded by a grant from the SRS Insects, Diseases and Invasive Plants unit, the University of Georgia’s Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health (also known as Bugwood) developed the app, which is based on the popular SRS publication A Field Guide for the Identification of Invasive Plants in Southern Forests and a companion management guide. “Jim Miller, who is lead author for both of the source publications, is one of the foremost authorities on invasive plants in the South,” said Doudrick. “We’re proud to offer this free app, called appropriately Invasive Plants in Southern Forests, as another of our efforts to reach specific users who can more readily identify and learn about invasive plants.” To download the free app, go to the Apple iTunes store and search for “invasive plants in southern forests” or go directly to http://itunes.apple.com/app/invasive-plants-in-southern/id495852751?mt=8 Provide comments at the iTunes Website or contact Chuck Bargeron at Bugwood at [email protected].
