Zusammenfassung:In the present paper, bioactive compounds including vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, chlorophylls, and total polyphenols were determined in four species of seaweeds ( Laminaria spp., Porphyra umbilicalis , Himanthalia elongata , and Palmaria palmata ).The antioxidant activity was also evaluated. The vitamin C and vitamin E contents ranged from 0.61 to 46.66 mg/100 g and from 0.17 to 2.24 mg/100 g, respectively. High contents of fucoxanthin were found in Laminaria spp.
