In the ulvaceae family, it is an edible green algae. Some marine algae contain large pigments such as chlorophyll,carotenoids, phycobili, beta-carotene, and lutein. Seaweed is rich in bioactive compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobialproperties, and is not biodegradable and biocompatible with the skin. The process of seaweed involves polysaccharides,polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, carotenoids, vitamins, sterols, enzymes and antibiotics.It is especially rich in polyphenols, fucoidans and carotenoids. Alkaloids, terpenes, terpenoids, agaragar, algin, and phloro tannin are antimicrobial compoundsknown in seaweeds.Using ulvans and oligo ulvans, natural dyes are extracted from the green seaweed and serve as color producing pigments. Ulvans are water soluble pigments that have been used to absorb green color and to transport it to the surface of the fibre. The primary pigment for Ulvans in seaweed. The dyes are extracted from sea weed. In this study the colorwas extracted from green seaweed which shows promising color for fabrics.
