ABSTRAKT

The purple red, flat and cartilagino-membranous thalli of Calliblepharis fimbriata (Grev.) Kütz. were collected from Buleji Coast, near Karachi (Pakistan) during May 1987. They were extracted in methanol, saponified, subjected to column chromatography (CC, TCL), esterified, and analyzed for fatty acid (FA) composition initially by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) and finally by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The extract revealed the presence of ten FAs including eight saturated and two unsaturated acids. The saturated acids were in much greater proportion (73.32%) than the unsaturated ones (26.61%). The C16 acids, such as palmitic and palmitoleic acids, occurred in the highest amounts (25.04 and 24.25%, respectively). Oleic acid could not be detected in this seaweed.
