Abstract

In this study investigations of the fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidant properties of cultured (CFI) Cladophora fracta var. intricata. CFI was isolated from benthic habitats of the Tokat Yeşilırmak River (Tokat) and axenic cultured. According to the antioxidant analysis results, a dose-dependent activity was observed in CFI in terms of DPPH free radical scavenging activity, FRAP and TEAC reducing power, but it was not found to be significant as it remained above IC50 values. In CFI, C14:0 Myristic acid, C16:0 Palmitic acid and C16:1 Palmitoleic acid, C18: 1 N9C Oleic fatty acids and vitamins A, C, E were found to be high. According to antioxidant analysis results, CFI was found to be notable for the use of its fatty acid and vitamin values in food and pharmaceutical. Since it has low contamination properties, the algal taxon examined can be easily used in culture media.
