TABLE 27.2 Content of FAs (% of total FAMEs) and total lipids (TL % of dry matter) in red and green seaweed and Schizochytrium sp. 

Red seaweeds predominantly contained polyunsaturated 20C-PUFAs—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA oo-3, C 20 5) and AA (co-6, C 20 4). Further, PUFAs with 18 and 20 carbon molecules were the most abimdant in selected brovm seaweeds. Finally, 18C-PUFAs were predominantly determined in the chosen green seaweeds. For comparison, FAs-compo-sition of brovm microalga Schizochytrium sp. as the significant source of DHA is also introduced in Table 27.2. 

Some marine microalgae from the kingdom Chromista and Protozoa were observed as a rich natural source of PUFAs. Thraustochytriacea is the significant family of Chromista in which have been included generas Schizochytrium and Thraustochytrium (Yokoyama and Honda, 2007) with... 

Nevertheless, the growing requirements of healthy functional foods and escalation of the environment pollution on the worldwide basis have led to produce PUFAs in controlled batch culture of marine microalgae, especially of Thraustochytrium and Schizochytrium strains. Besides marine microalgae, seaweeds seem to be an interesting natural source of fl)-3 PUFAs, thanks to their better utilization.
