Fatty Acid Compositions of Sea Aigaes in the Southern Sea Coast of Korea

Lipid contents and fatty acid compositions of 16 kind sea algaes in the southern sea coast of Korea were analyzed to evaluate nutrient significance of total polyene, n-3 polyene and n-6 polyene fatty acids. Total lipid contents were 0.58 ~ 3.00% in 9 kinds of brown algaes, 0.47~2.16% in 5 kinds of red algaes and 0.55~2.99% in 2 kinds of green algeas. N-3 polyene and n-6 polyenes of the fatty acid compositions were 1.46-25.67% and 0-48.51% in the brown algaes, 1.17~21.91% and 0.28~29.35% in the red algaes, and 3.67%~10.61% and 4.10~8.66% in the green algaes, respectively. The fatty acid contents and compositions of n-3 polyenes and n-6 polyenes, monoenes and saturates were vary different in the algae groups and sepecies.
