ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the microscopic analysis and physiochemical examination of algae, Arthrospira platensis Methods: Macroscopical and microscopical examinations were done on dried samples. Plant material underwent an initial phytochemical analysis. There were additionally standardisations using additional WHO-recommended metrics. Results: Powder microscopy studies on algae of Arthrospira platensis species has been documented as per standard procedures. The proportion of foreign substances, the swelling index, the ash values, the loss on drying, the extractive values, and other physiochemical parameters were also determined. Initial phytochemical analysis found alkaloid, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, and tannin in the sample. Conclusions: Arthrospira platensis microscopic and physiochemical examination is used for establishing standards for sample verification, quality, and the utmost. Keywords: Arthrospira platensis, powder microscopy, physicochemical parameters, phytochemical analysis,algae
