Antioxidant and Phytonutrient Activities of Spirulina Platensis
Increasing consumption of natural substances has increased the demand for biological sources such as Spirulina platensis. The natural colourants, vitamins, and minerals found in this Spirulina platensis have been scientifically demonstrated. There is a wide range of variations in the composition of natural substances in microalgae depending on the characteristics of spirulina . The aim of this study quantitatively investigates the antioxidant and phytonutrient compounds from spirulina with aqueous and ethanol extract. The materials used were fresh and dried spirulina extracted by water and ethanol. Analysis was subjected for protein, carbohydrate, phytochemical screening like total phenol, flavonoid, tannin, and antioxidant like catalyse, SOD, GPx, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and reduced GSH. The results showed that enzymatic antioxidant of aqueous and methanolic extract of catalysing 120.827±0.672 and 79.907±0.447 SOD 4.735±0.179 and 2.009±0.305 and GPx 211.098±0.563 and 157.878±0.790 and non-enzymatic antioxidant of aqueous and ethanol extract of vitamin C 0.128±0.005 and 0.111±0.003, Vitamin E 0.152±0.010 and 0.264±0.163 and Reduced GSH 122.758±0.793 and 42.081±0.913 respectively. Phytonutrients of both extracts of total phenol 9.919±0.449 and 3.476±0.362, flavonoid 1.047±0.004 and 0.585±0.054, tannin 1.047±0.006 and 0.568±0.061, and carbohydrate and protein analysed, respectively. There has been a significant change in antioxidant functions with both extracts. Spirulina is a dietary supplement with many potential uses, but further research is needed to verify its effectiveness. A safe nutritional supplement, spirulina can be accredited, certified, and approved worldwide
