Abstract

Objective: Preliminary phytonutrient and invitro evaluation of Gracilaria opuntia.


Methods: Phytonutrient evaluation studied with various extracts like ethyl acetate, ethanol and purified water. The antioxidant potential was studied by DPPH, H2O2, NO and OH- assays.


Results: The phytonutrient screening studies exhibits existence of various nutrient substituents. Also, a comprehensive anti-oxidant potential at 500 µg/ml in Gracilaria opuntia comparatively better than used standard.


Conclusion: Thus Gracilaria opuntia can be consider for curative disease from oxidative weakening in which in-vivo studies can be evaluated in advance.
