Abstract

In the ulvaceae family, it is an edible green algae. Some marine algae contain large pigments such as chlorophyll,
carotenoids, phycobili, beta-carotene, and lutein. Seaweed is rich in bioactive compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial
properties, and is not biodegradable and biocompatible with the skin. The process of seaweed involves polysaccharides,
polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, carotenoids, vitamins, sterols, enzymes and antibiotics.It is especially rich in polyphenols, f
ucoidans and carotenoids. Alkaloids, terpenes, terpenoids, agaragar, algin, and phloro tannin are antimicrobial compounds
known in seaweeds.Using ulvans and oligo ulvans, natural dyes are extracted from the green seaweed and serve as color pro
ducing pigments. Ulvans are water soluble pigments that have been used to absorb green color and to transport it to the surf
ace of the fibre. The primary pigment for Ulvans in seaweed. The dyes are extracted from sea weed. In this study the color
was extracted from green seaweed which shows promising color for fabrics.
