Abstract

Caulerpa lentillifera is a marine macroalgae widely consumed in Asia Pacific, including Thailand. Quality and freshness are the main criteria for consumers. Chlorophyll is an important fundamental pigmentation and acts as green in C. lentillifera. It can be variable according to light and growth, and then it can indicate the quality of C. lentillifera products. This research aimed to observe changing chlorophyll contents in C. lentillifera after harvest during five days from two different months- May and June and two different ponds-ponds 1 and 2 by chlorophyll extraction and measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence. The result showed that the contents of total chlorophyll and chlorophyll A differed between months, but the pattern did not significantly change even in different months and ponds within five days after harvest.
