Background Natural astaxanthin, a super antioxidant and colorant, is widely applied in the
nutrition, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and feed industries. Haematococcus pluvialis is …

Astaxanthin (3, 3-dihydroxy-β, β-carotene-4, 4-dione) is a ketocarotenoid synthesized by
Haematococcus pluvialis/lacustris, Chromochloris zofingiensis, Chlorococcum …

Carotenoids are a large group of health-promoting compounds used in many industrial
sectors, such as foods, feeds, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and colorants …

Although astaxanthin has been shown to have high potential for weight loss, the specific
action site and signal pathway generally cannot be confirmed in other animal models. This …

Carotenoids are lipid-soluble compounds that are present in nature, including plants and
microorganisms such as fungi, certain bacteria, and algae. In fungi, they are widely present …

This study aimed to develop a novel astaxanthin nanoparticle using gum arabic (GA) and
whey protein powder enriched with milk fat globule membranes (MFGM-WPI) as carriers and …

Daily consumption of carotenoids is associated with multiple health benefits, but their
bioavailability is generally extremely low. In this context, the Z-isomerization is receiving …

Astaxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid possessing impressive nutraceutical, antioxidant,
and bioactive merits. Traditionally, astaxanthin is extracted from crustacean wastes via …

The functional activity of dietary astaxanthin is closely related to its absorption, and the
absorption of dietary carotenoids mainly mediated by transmembrane transport protein …

The effects of light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation characterized by different emission
wavelengths on the E/Z-isomerization and degradation of astaxanthin were investigated …
