| Abstract: | The phytochemical screening, nutritional composition and bioactive potential of Sargassum polycystum (Brown Seaweed) were investigated. The bioactive compounds of Sargassum polycystum showed significant activity against four human pathogens, namely, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The biochemical composition of Sargassum polycystum exhibited high nutritional potential of protein (14.2%), carbohydrate (25.0%), lipid (7.6%), fiber (21.3%), and ash (29.0%) than that in terrestrial plants and animal products. The Sargassum polycystum could be providing more opportunities for discovering new drugs which may be used as a source of healthy food for human regular diet. |
