Abstract

Ulva rigida is a worldwide distributed green alga and is commenly used for human nutrition. Extracts of this seaweed were shown anti-hypercholestierinemic, antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic activities. The antioxidant effect was often ascribed to the presence of a huge amount of polyphenols. The aim of this study was to characterise by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) the phenolic molecules present in extracts obtained from U. rigida. The antioxidant activities of different extracts were evaluated in vitro by DPPH assay and on HeLa cells culture.
