Abstract

The proximate composition (Protein, carbohydrate, lipid, ash, moisture and total dietary fiber content) and physicochemical properties of Portieria hornemannii were studied. The proximate composition of protein 33.82 ± 1.48 followed by carbohydrate and lipid the protein is highest activity. Total dietary fiber contained 2.24 ± 0.39 for thr red seaweed of Portieria hornemannii contains neutral sugars corresponded to sulphated galactoans (Carrageen and agar). Insoluble fiber 1.22 ± 0.06 and soluble fiber 1.02 ± 0.05, moisture and ash were 12.96 ± 0.55 and 18.42 ± 1.03 respectively. Followed by WHC and swelling both had strong physicochemical characteristics at high temperatures. The oil retention is very low. Finally the seaweed P.hornemannii is used in anti diabetic activity of ? amylase enzyme activity IC50 value 121.68. The P.hornemannii can be effective inhibition of anti diabetic activity and its leads to develop the natural drug in pharmaceutical application.
