Abstract

Two species of Caulerpa, locally known as “Pedesan” and “Latuh” have been traditionally consumed by coastal communities at Binuangeun, Banten. This study aimed to identify “Pedesan” and “Latuh” using the DNA barcoding method and to evaluate their nutrient and heavy metal contents. Fatty acids were determined by Gas Chromatography Flame Ionization Detector (GC FID), amino acids using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC), and minerals using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES). Based on the tufA gene sequences, the “Pedesan” was identified as Caulerpa racemosa var. macrophysa and “Latuh” as Caulerpa chemnitzia. Thirteen fatty acids were detected in C. racemosa var. macrophysa and twelve fatty acids in C. chemnitzia. Of the total fatty acid content, C. racemosa var. macrophysa contained 41.0% unsaturated fatty acids, dominated by linolenic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. Meanwhile, C. chemnitzia contained 47.5%, dominated by oleic acid. Both seaweeds contained fatty acids with the w6/w3 ratio lower than 10, which could prevent heart disease risk based on World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation. The primary amino acids content in C. racemosa var. macrophysa were glutamic acid, alanine, serine and aspartic acid, while those in C. chemnitzia were glutamic acid, serine, aspartic acid, and glycine. The high content of glutamic acid in both samples indicated their potential use as food flavor enhancer. The Na/K ratio of C. racemosa var. macrophysa (40.31) and C. chemnitzia (27.48) were higher than those recommended by WHO. Heavy metals were not detected in either “Pedesan” nor “Latuh”, indicating that they are safe for consumption.

Abstract

Eucheuma seaweed from tropical waters habitat mainly contains carrageenan, a type of hydrocolloid potential for hydrogel production. This study aims to determine the characteristics of hydrogel formulated from composite i- and k-carrageenan combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) which, could be used further for wound dressing application. The concentrations of composite i/k-carrageenan used were 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% and 3.0% w/w, and the PVA concentration was 12.5% w/w. Composite i/k-carrageenan in a proportion of 6:4 by weight. The hydrogel was irradiated using 60Co g-rays with the irradiation dose of 25 and 2 kGy.h-1. The concentration of composite i- and k-carrageenan influenced the gel fraction, water holding capacity, tensile strength, elongation, and surface morphology of the hydrogel. The optimum formula of irradiated composite hydrogel was obtained from 3.0% w/w of composite i/k-carrageenan. The formula had a gel fraction of 61.67%, water holding capacity of  1067.12%, tensile strength of  32.37 x 10-3 MPa, and elongation of  251.67%. Interestingly, the product with the optimum formula had a porous surface morphology and transparency, which are applicable for wound dressing purposes.
