Lipophilic Fraction of Cultivated Bifurcaria bifurcata R. Ross: Detailed Compos...
Santos, Sónia A. O.; Trindade, Stephanie S.; Oliveira, Catia S. D.; Parreira, Paula; Rosa, Daniela; Duarte, Maria F.; Ferreira, Isabel; Cruz, Maria T.Macroalgae have been seen as an alternative source of molecules with promising bioactivities to use in the prevention and treatment of current lifestyle diseases. In this vein, the lipophilic fraction of short-term (three weeks) cultivated Bifurcaria bifurcata was characterized in detail by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). B. bifurcata dichloromethane extract was composed mainly by diterpenes (1892...
Bioprospecting for lipophilic-like components of five Phaeophyta macroalgae fro...
Santos, Sonia A. O.; Oliveira, Catia S. D.; Trindade, Stephanie S.; Abreu, Maria H.; Rocha, Silvia S. M.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.Lipophilic compounds present in dichloromethane extracts of five brown macroalgae from the Portuguese coast were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Their dicarboxylic acids, long-chain aliphatic alcohols, and monoglyceride profile are reported for the first time. Additionally, other new compounds were also first reported: 24-methylene-cholesterol in Himanthalia elongata, Laminaria ochrole...
