BACKGROUND Oil bodies (OBs) are a kind of natural and stable oil nucleate microcapsule
in which the triglyceride matrix can be used as an appropriate carrier of hydrophobic …

This study aimed to select proper lipids for designing astaxanthin-loaded nanostructured
lipid carriers (astaxanthin-NLC), and then to evaluate the influence of formulation …

There is currently much interest in biological active compounds derived from natural
resources, especially compounds that can efficiently act on molecular targets, which are …

Astaxanthin, a hydrophobic carotenoid found in marine plants and animals, is claimed to
exhibit various beneficial biological activities. Its use as a nutraceutical in foods, however, is …

Crustacean byproducts are valuable sources of astaxanthin. In this study, an astaxanthin-
rich lipid phase was extracted from shrimp waste and encapsulated in multilayer emulsions …

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid widely used in salmonid and crustacean aquaculture to provide
the pink color characteristic of that species. This application has been well documented for …

Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoid family, is a dark-red pigment which is the main
carotenoid found in the marine world of algae and aquatic animals. Astaxanthin, is present …
