摘要：In current study,proximate compositions(ash, lipid and protein)and fatty acid profiles of 5 differ-ent brown macroalgae (Stypopodium schimperi, Halopteris scoparia, Cystoseira compressa, Padina pavonica, Sargassum vulgare)collected from Isken-derun Bay(Arsuz and Kale regions)in July 2019 were determined. The highest and lowest ash values were found in Halopteris scoparia(28±0.1%) and Cystoseira compressa (21±0.1%), respectively.The lowest and highest lipid amounts of brown algae tested in the study were found in Cystoseira com-pressa (2.00%) and Stypopodium schimperi (6.36%),respectively. While the highest proteincon-tent was determined in Halopteris scoparia ) and Cystoseira compressa (9.79±0.02%) (9.50±0.3%),the lowest protein content was ob-tained from Padina pavonica(4.20±0.16%).The sat-urated(SF A)and monounsaturated (MUFA)fatty acid compositions of brown algae were 75.11-92.45%and4.44-23.1%,respectively.In conclusion, biochemical compositions and especially, the high levels of palmitic acid indicated that brown macroal-gae can be considered as a potential resource in terms of obtaining biologically new products in the nutraceutical industry and food industry.
