The Effect of Different Drying Methods on the Phytochemical Properties of the Selected Seaweeds

Abstract

 Seaweeds are good sources for the nutrition and pharmaceutical sectors. The intention of this study was designed to screen the constituent’s selected seaweed collected from Rameswaram and Tuticorin, the Southern coast of India. The present study investigated the presence of phytochemical constituents of the green, brown and red seaweed under different types of drying methods. The extraction of some biochemical constituency stimulates productive application that needs desiccation stepwise to prohibit by removal of the synthetic composition and increases their real-life values and assist process which is consuming time and exhausting processes The valuable substratum of different seaweeds was studied by shade drying, sun drying Hot air oven drying at 60˚and 80˚c and Microwave drying (800w). The phytochemical effects of ethanol extract on different types of Seaweeds such as Stoechospermum marginatum, Padina gymnosperms, Ulva Lactuca, Hypnea pannosa, and Centroceras clavulatum were scrutinized.  The phytochemical sources of Test for Alkaloids, Terpenoids, Steroids, Coumarin, tannin saponin flavonoids, Quinone, anthraquinones, protein, Phenol, and Carbohydrate were determined the Result, credentialed by the low-Temperature drying methods and high-temperature drying methods prepared product with highest chemicals are induced by drying treatment and the species of seaweed used Fast drying methods to be beneficial to the level of specific chemicals. The single drying method could be identified as consistently superior for all species or all compounds of instigating appropriate techniques selected air oven drying 60˚ method has the potential in the area of drying selective material to better stability of bioactive components which is helpful to use further studies in pharmacology and Agricultural fields
