Analysis of the fatty acid composition of Caulerpa lentillifera using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

Caulerpa lentillifera, also known as Sea Grape or Green Caviar is a type of green seaweed from the class of Caurlepacea and species of Lentillifera. They are common seaweed communities in tropical and subtropical waters. They have different biochemical compounds from various seaweedspecies. However,...
