Seasonal proximate and fatty acid variations of some seaweeds from the northeastern Mediterranean coast

The seasonal nutritional value of red (<i>Jania rubens</i>, <i>Laurencia papillosa</i>, <i>Spyridia filamentosa</i> and <i>Dasya rigidula</i>) and brown macroalgae (<i>Padina pavonia</i> and Stypopodium schimperi) was evaluated as a dietary...

description The seasonal nutritional value of red (<i>Jania rubens</i>, <i>Laurencia papillosa</i>, <i>Spyridia filamentosa</i> and <i>Dasya rigidula</i>) and brown macroalgae (<i>Padina pavonia</i> and Stypopodium schimperi) was evaluated as a dietary supplement for human and animal nutrition based on proximate and fatty acid profiles. The protein content varied from 0.80% (<i>L. papillosa</i>) to 3.41% (<i>J. rubens</i>) of wet weight with the highest values in winter. The highest lipid levels were recorded in <i>S. schimperi</i> (2.03% in spring, 2.16% in summer), the lowest in <i>S. filamentosa</i> (0.08% in spring). The ash content of J. rubens (46.11-51.63%) was significantly higher than that of the other species (2.28-16.57%). Analysis of the fatty acid composition showed that these seaweed species are very rich in n-3 fatty acids.
