Abstract

The present study deals with physicochemical and biochemical analysis of Rhodophycean algae Gracilaria fergusonii J. Ag was collected from Manapad coast, Tamil Nadu, India. Collected algal specimen was investigated proximate and chemical composition were using standard procedure. The moisture content, total ash value, acid insoluble and water soluble ash value was 24.6±0.324%, 36.61±0.69%, 24.24±0.19%, and 26.69±0.02% were respectively. The solvent extractive value and other biochemical composition were also recorded.
