Microalgae have a defense mechanism for undesirable conditions for cell growth, allowing them to adapt to stress conditions. One of these mechanisms is the antioxidant activity, which protects them from photoxidative damage due to changes in the levels of radiation. This is possible because microalgae are capable of accumulating biologically active compounds (pigments, phenolic compounds, etc.) that serve as defense. At present, the use of antioxidants of synthetic origin is a need to be replaced due to its possible carcinogenic potential. By now microalgae are being studied as possible sources of natural origin. In this way the objective of this work was to analyze the antioxidant activity of four different microalgal strains obtained from highland areas of the department of Ayacucho-Peru. The antioxidant activity present in the microalgal extracts was quantified by the ABTS+ cation radical method; we worked with two strains of Pediastrum sp (Ped4400 y Ped3311) and two strains of Chamydomonas sp. (Chl4440 y Chl3590), which were cultivated in 2 L with CHU10 culture medium in a climatic chamber for seven days, having as factors to consider the UVAB radiation of 4 mW/cm2 (λ = 400-280 nm) for a period of three hours a day and the altitude of origin of the strain. The strains from highland areas were the best adapted to controlled conditions; the strain Ped4400 showed the highest value of antioxidant activity, of 221.71 μmol trolox eq. g-1 being not significant the exposure to UVAB radiation, surpassing the strain Chl4440 that reached a value of 105.61 μmol trolox eq. g-1, for crops exposed to radiation. It is concluded that both strains of microalgae are potential source of antioxidant compounds.
