GC- and UHPLC-MS Profiles as a Tool to Valorize the Red Alga Asparagopsis armata
Pinto, Diana C. G. A.; Lesenfants, Marie L.; Rosa, Gonçalo P.; Barreto, Maria do Carmo; Silva, Artur M. S.; Seca, Ana M. L.Asparagopsis armata Harvey is a red alga native from the southern hemisphere and then introduced in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, including the Azores Archipelago, where it is considered an invasive alga. Some studies show that the extracts exhibit antimicrobial and antifouling activities, and it is incorporated in some commercialized cosmetic products. (e.g., Ysaline®). However, knowledge of th...
GC- and UHPLC-MS Profiles as a Tool to Valorizate the Red Alga Asparagopsis armata
Lesenfants, Marie L.; Seca, Ana M. L.; Silva, Artur M. S.; Pinto, Diana C. G. A.Asparagopsis armata is considered a biological invader and this red alga is in the last few years one of the worst nightmares for Azores coast biodiversity. So efforts to find an economically valuable application are welcome. In this context biological evaluations of its extracts, such as anti-aging, antioxidant and anticholinesterasic activities, were recently presented [1,2]. Naturally, the knowledge of this ...
