Research paper thumbnail of Macro-and micronutrients status in Arthrospira platensis grown in Fresh water and brackish water medium

Malnutrition is considered as the most significant risk factor for illness and death. Supplementa... more Malnutrition is considered as the most significant risk factor for illness and death. Supplementation with Spirulina (Arthrospira) is a solution for malnutrition resulting from inadequate nutrient in food. Spirulina is widely used as food source due to its high protein content, easier digestibility and presence of high-value nutritional components. The aim of this study is to analyze the macro- and micronutrients content in Arthrospira platensis cultured in freshwater with clewat (FC), freshwater without clewat (FWC), brackish water with clewat (BC) and brackish water without clewat (BWC). Rice was selected as a control. Macro- and micronutrients content in digested Arthrospira samples were analysed using Inductive Couple Plasma-Mass Spectometry (ICP-MS). Arthrospira platensis cultured in BC contains significantly higher macronutrients (360.90 ± 2.86 µg/g dry weight) while, rice contains significantly lower macronutrient content (18.42 ± 0.11 µg/g dry weight). A. platensis cultured in FWC has significantly higher (p <0.05) amount of micronutrients (88.88 ± 0.36 µg/g dry weight) and it is followed by FC (53.90 ± 1.10 µg/g dry weight). The superiority of macro- and micronutrients in Spirulina are evidently higher compared to rice, hence the potential of using Spirulina in alleviating malnutrition is promising.
