<![CDATA[Lipid content and fatty acid composition of seaweed Ulva reticulata Forsskal obtained from Segara Sanur Beach have been analyzed. Lipid was extracted from this seaweed using soxhlet extractor with chloroform:methanol (2:1) as solvent, while the composition of fatty acid was analysed using gas chromatrography accomplished by a mixture of 37 standard fatty acids (ST37AL85.D01). It was found that Ulva reticulata Forsskal contained (1,41±0,04)% (w/w) of crude lipids. The crude lipid was composed of 11 major fatty acids including pentadecanoic acid (12,08%), heptadecanoic acid (40,00%), cis-10-heptadecenoic acid (4,37%), oleic acid (1,77%), linolelaidic acid (4,31%), linoleic acid (13,01%), arachidic acid (4,71%), g-linolenic acid (2,27%), heneicosanoic acid (7,58%), cis-11,14-eicosedienoic acid (8,19%), and cis-8,11,14-eicosetrienoic acid (1,71%).]]>
