Abstract: (39926 Views)
Spirulina is one of the most promising microalgae. It has been used as food for centuries by different population and only rediscovered in recent years. It is especially rich of protein, of polyunsaturated fatty acid, of γ-linolenic acid (GLA), and of pigments such as phycocyanin, carotenoid and zeaxanthin. Also it has many applications in food, drug and aquaculture industries. Carotenoids are the most important of natural pigments that are produced in plant and algae only and have antioxidant effects. In this study for evaluation of pigments,first their standard prepared from Sigma Aldrich Company and then pigments were extracted through solvent by experimental tests. The amount of chlorophyll and some carotenoids like beta carotene, lycopene, Zeaxanthin, lutein and astaxazanthin were determined 4.3 µg/ml, 7393, 741, 6652, 424 and 0.21µg/g respectivly by Classic extraction, spectrophotometer and HPLC instruments.
