 ABSTRACT

The present investigation aims to characterize the bioactive constituents of Ulva lactuca L. using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. 10 gm sample of seaweed was successfully extracted with chloroform by continuous shaking in dark room for 36 hrs. The concentrated extracts were subjected to GC-MS analysis. The GC-MS analysis of chloroform extracts of U. lactuca show various types of phytocompounds screened under different R.T. These bioactive compounds are considered as biologically and pharmacologically important. The chloroform extracts of U. lactuca contains diverse bioactive compounds that were identified and characterized spectroscopically. Hence, identification of different biologically active compounds in the extracts of seaweeds justifies further biological and pharmacological studies.

Keywords: U. lactuca, GC-MS analysis, Seaweed, Phytocompounds.
