Abstract
Seaweeds are traditionally used as human food, because they provide nutritional value and a specific taste. This study illustrated some nutritional value of two marine algaes (U.rigida and U.intestinalis) which belong to the division chlorophyta. The composition and content of sterol, unsaturated fatty acid, amino acid and mineral in U.rigida and U.intestinalis were analyzed. For sterol study, the result showed that fucosterol (29,961µg /100g DW) was found in U.rigida, while beta-sitosterol (2,126µg /100g DW) and desmosterol (923.50 µg /100g DW) were found in U.intestinalis. Unsaturated fatty acids content in U.rigida and U.intestinalis were 885.75 and 20.06 mg/100g fatty acid, respectively. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), omega-3 fatty acid, was detected only in U.rigida. Total amino acid content in U.rigida and U.intestinalis were 11.06 and 4.65 g/100g DW, respectively. Aspartic acid was dominant in U.rigida, whereas cyteine was dominant in U.intestinalis. Calcium, iron and magnesium were similar in both types of algae, with the exception of magnesium that was high in U.rigida. Both green algaes from this study were a good source of nutritional food for human and animal. However, U.rigida seem to show the better nutritional value.
