Abstract

Current efforts to explore the potency of marine resources have been made to promote economic development in Indonesia, especially in the industrial sector. Marine cyanobacteria such as Arthospira sp. and Scytonema sp. are two potential candidates of the blue-green algae that can be used in the application for food and health industries. This study focused on the identification of the composition of the dominant chlorophylls and carotenoids. The results showed the presence of Zeaxanthin, Chlorophyll a, and β-carotene. The economic potency of those dominant pigments will be reviewed in this article.

Abstract

Pola diet dan gaya hidup kurang sehat menyebabkan berbagai kasus hiperkolesterol dan obesitas. Berbagai pengobatan untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut masih terus diperbaharui, tak hanya dengan obat-obatan sintetik namun juga obat alam berbasis senyawa bioaktif tumbuhan tingkat tinggi. Sejumlah studi juga menunjukkan bahwa pigmen alami, yang diproduksi oleh tumbuhan tingkat tinggi maupun rendah, juga mampu memberikan manfaat terapi hampir serupa untuk membantu menurunkan prevalensi penyakit kardiovaskular. Beberapa pigmen seperti fukosantin, astasantin, lutein, dan fikosianin dibuktikan memiliki sifat antioksidan alami serta bioaktivitas spesifik dalam metabolisme lemak tubuh, sehingga dapat digunakan untuk terapi penyakit yang disebabkan oleh kerusakan oksidatif, termasuk penyakit kardiovaskular.The unhealthy life style and poor diet become the reason of most hypercholesterol and obesity cases. Numerous studies are still continuously conducted to overcome heart conditions, not only with synthetic drugs but also natural herbals from bioactive compounds of higher plants. Several natural pigments studies showed comparable activities in decreasing cardiovascular disease prevalence. Fucoxanthin, astaxanthin, lutein, and phycocyanin are natural antioxidants, playing beneficial role in the metabolism of body fats. They can be applied for diseases associated with oxidative stress, including cardiovascular problems.
