Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 26Composition of Carotenoids in Scenedesmus Protuberans: Application of Chromatographic and Spectroscopic Methods(Springer Verlag, 2015) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Çağır, Ali; Conk Dalay, Meltem; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminThis study aimed to identify and determine the carotenoids from green microalga, Scenedesmus protuberans using analytical techniques. Identification of carotenoids was realized by comparing their absorption and mass spectral data with those of reference standards available and reported values. Chromatographic data were then combined with the spectroscopic information. The separation of carotenoids was achieved by C30 column and high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection was used for their determination. In the present work, the carotenoid content of S. protuberans was found to be 1.45 mg/g of violaxanthin, 2.47 mg/g of all-trans-lutein, 0.15 mg/g of all-trans-α-carotene, 0.55 mg/g of all-trans-β-carotene, and 0.20 mg/g of 9 or 9′-cis-β-carotene. Due to lack of their standards, the amount of all-trans-loroxanthin and cis-isomers of other carotenoids could not be quantified. In order to validate the method, Certified Reference Material (BCR 485-Mixed vegetables) was used. In conclusion, this study can serve as a reference for the analysis of carotenoids in other microalgae.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 22Fucoxanthin Content of Cylindrotheca Closterium and Its Oxidative Stress Mediated Enhancement(Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2016) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Demirel, Zeliha; Conk Dalay, Meltem; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminProduction of fucoxanthin by diatoms has become an alternative research area due to their low cost, convenience and diversity. The fucoxanthin content of Cylindrotheca closterium and its enhancement by altering the cultivation conditions via oxidative stress were investigated in this study. For this purpose, the extraction parameters were optimized and the highest fucoxanthin concentration (6.58 mg g-1) was achieved within 15.0 minutes at 40 °C. Then, this yield reached to 10.15 mg g-1 in the presence of NaOCl and Fe2+. It is worth noting that, this is the first time that the effect of oxidative stress on fucoxanthin production in diatom has been studied according to our knowledge. Therefore, the results of this study and the discussion about the mechanisms can be a reference for the enrichment of fucoxanthin from other diatoms.
