The determination of the molecular weight profiles and biochemical compositions eight macroalgae species from Turkey

Algae biomass could be one of the most important economic values in near future. For this reason, we determined the biochemical compositions and molecular weight profiles (MWPs) of eight macroalgae; Green Algae (Codium fragile, Ulva intestinalis, Chaetomorpha linum, and Codium bursa), Red Algae (Ellisolandia elongata, Jania rubens, and Amphiroa rigida), Brown Algae (Padina pavonica) collected from different regions in Turkey. The differences measured between biochemical compositions such as ash, lipid, and protein of macroalgae species were statistically significant (P
