Abstract: Identification of the chemical nature of bioactive compounds present in the seaweed, Padina pavonica has been evaluated using HPLC, UV VIS and FTIR. HPLC profiles and major functional groups were reported to contained five phenolic compounds namely Kaempferol, Ellagic acid, Delphinidin -3-O-glucoside, Naringeninand Ferulic Acid. The UV- VIS profile showed (ranging 226.7 nm to 664.5 nm) reveals the presence of phenolic and alkaloids derivatives. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of phenol, alkanes, alcohol and aromatic compounds. The results of this study offer a platform of using Padina pavonica as an alternative for various diseases.
