ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF C.MINUTUS AND C.SACCHAROPHILA
Padma Priya C. and Murugesan S*
Abstract The potential antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of microalgae, Chroococcus minutus and Chlorella saccharophila were evaluated in vitro. The free radical scavenging activity of the extracts was measured by DPPH and ABTS indicate the antioxidant potential of C. minutes and C. saccharophila. The antioxidant potential of these microalgal extracts were compared with commercial antioxidants, such as Butylated Hydroxy Toulene (BHT) and Lascorbic acid. Free radical DPPH and ABTS scavenging potential was higher in C.minutus than C.saccharophila. From the present study, it can be concluded that the extracts of the microalgae has the antioxidant activity. Keywords: Antioxidant, Chroococcus minutus, Chlorella saccharophila.
