Abstract
Three different treatment of Caulerpa racemosa - fresh, semi-dried and dried – were assayed for proximate composition, and antioxidant activities (EC50). Fatty acids profile was also investigated by GC-MS. The analysis showed that the water content was significantly different in the three treatments, but showed no difference in protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, ash and total phenols. The total flavonoid and antioxidant activity of semi-dried C. racemosa was highest, compared the others. Drying changed the fatty acid composition of C. racemosa. Fatty acids from fresh and semi-dried C. racemosa followed the same pattern with USFA>SFA, while dried C. racemosa SFA>USFA.
