Abstract :
Alga, with the scientific name of Cladophora Glomerata (L.) Kütz is a plant in the family of Cladophoracea was collected in summer from the Caspian Sea in Babolsar, Mazandaran, Iran and dried in shade for one week. The extraction of the dried plant was obtained by different Extraction techniques of plants like Maceration (in ethanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane) and Hot Continuous Extraction (Soxhlet in methanol). The screening tests of plant photochemistry, showed the presence of Flavonoid, Terpenoid, Saponin, Tanin, Glycoside from Cladophora ethanolic extraction. The obtained plant extraction was analyzed by the Gas Chromatography-Mass (GC-Mass) spectroscopy. n-hexadecanoic acid-ethyl ester (11.46%), marmesin or furanocoumarin (17.39%) and oleic acid (17.74%) contributed more percentage than the other compounds.
