Abstract

The present investigation was to study the nutritional value, fatty acids composition and α-tocopherol of Cystoseira spp., Ulva spp. and Zostera spp. in the Sinop Bay from Black Sea. The highest level of 20:5(n-3) was 10.96% of dry weight (DW) for Cystoseira spp. however, the lowest level was 4.40% DW for Ulva spp.. The α-tocopherol content in samples showed marked variation among samples and it was max; 17.10±0.10, and min; 9.10±0.50μg g-1 DW. The highest level of total carotenoids was determined in the Zostera spp., contained as 1.09±0.14 mg g-1 DW. Nevertheless, the highest level of chlorophyll a was observed in the Ulva
spp. (0.71±0.07 mg g-1). As a result, this present study results showed that Cystoseira spp., Ulva spp. and Zostera spp. in the Sinop Bay could be utilized as functional ingredients for the valuable nutritional properties for seafood industries.
