Abstract
The antioxidant activity of the lipid extracts of eight marine algae belongingto the Cystoseira genus has been evaluated in a micellar model system.The activity has been ascribed to the presence in the extracts oftetraprenyltoluquinols, which are tocopherol-like compounds characteristicof these algae. Results have been expressed as relative antioxidant efficiency(RAE), defined as the ratio of the antioxidant efficiency (AE) of the testedextract to that of α-tocopherol. From the results a composition-activityrelationship has been deduced.
