Phenolic compounds in plants plays important role in pigmentation, growth, reproduction, resistance
against pathogens, defense mechanism as well as protecting plants from deleterious effects of ultraviolet
radiation and oxidants. Comparatively higher contents of phenolics and flavonoids were noticed in
seagrasses from Palk Bay than Gulf of Mannar irrespective body parts. The leaves of C. serrulata
contained phenolics ranging from 41 to 298 mg per 100g gallic acid equivalents and flavonoids 13 to 146
mg per 100g quercetin equivalents where as in the roots and rhizomes phenolics varied from 29 to 292
mg per 100g and flavonoids 9.1 to 75 mg per 100g. The tannins varied from 0.20 to 5.02 mg per 100g. Chlorophyl a, in seagrasses ranged from 115 to 850 µg per g, Chlorophyl b from 11 to 1029 µg per g and pheophytin from 41
to 204 µg per g. These results indicated variations in the phenolic compounds with reference to the
ecosystem and the presence of other plants in the meadows.
