Effects of storage and solvent type in a lipophylic chemical profile of the seaweed Dictyota menstrualis
Crude extracts from specimens of the brown seaweed Dictyota menstrualis, known to produce diterpenes as their major secondary metabolites, were analyzed according to storage procedures before extraction, and the solvent types used to obtain the crude extracts. The specimens of D. menstrualis were su...
