No.1 Vefa, Istanbul, Turkey Keywords: algae, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), [beta]-phenylethylamine Abstract [beta]-Phenylethylamine content was investigated in two green, five brown, and ten red marine algae by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. [beta]-Phenylethylamine was found in six red algae but was not detected in the brown and green algae studied. The highest amount of [beta]-phenylethylamine was determined in Gelidium crinale (30.42 [micro]g g.sup.-1). This is the first report of [beta]-phenylethylamine in the algae tested and also the first to quantify [beta]-phenylethylamine in marine algae.
