| Abstract: | The red seaweed Pyropia vietnamensis was assayed for its nutritional value. Samples were assessed for fatty acid profile, protein, carbohydrate, lipid, ash and moisture content. P. vietnamensis showed a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the ratio of n6/n3 (< 10) being in agreement with recommendation of WHO guideline. Moreover, the proximate analysis of the samples revealed an appreciable amount of proteins levels varying from12.35±0.59 – 20.5±0.35% on dry weight basis. Data exemplified were determined by one way ANOVA with level of significance at p<0.05. Present result suggests that P. vietnamensis has the potential to be utilized as food in India. |
