dc.description.abstract | In this research, biomass of the red algae Phycocalidia vietnamensis (Bangiales) was investigated for agar production. Agar was prepared by the hot water extraction method with 0, 4, 6, 8, 10% (w/v) NaOH pre-treatments. Samples without NaOH pre-treatment did not form gel. The agar yield of the NaOH pre-treated samples ranged from 7.13 to 12.42% dry weights. The highest gel strength of 596? ?35 g/cm2 was recorded for agar treated with 10% NaOH, followed by 350? ?17 g/cm2 with 8% and 150? ?23 g/cm2 with 6%. In addition, the extracted agar was tested for bacteriological application, and total bacterial counts ranged from 1.2? ?103 to 2.4? ?103 CFU mL??1. This study suggests that the agar extracted with 10% NaOH pre-treatment is suitable for bacteriological applications, while agar obtained with 6% and 8% NaoH pre-treatment could be used in the food industry. | |
