Seaweeds (marine macroalgae) are autotrophic organisms capable of producing many
compounds of interest. For a long time, seaweeds have been seen as a great nutritional …

Carotenoids are natural pigments that play pivotal roles in many physiological functions. The
characteristics of carotenoids, their effects on health, and the cosmetic benefits of their …

Seaweed has emerged as one of the most promising resources due to its remarkable
adaptability, short development period, and resource sustainability. It is an effective …

As is the case for terrestrial organisms, carotenoids represent the most common group of
pigments in marine environments. They are generally biosynthesized by all autotrophic …

The marine carotenoid fucoxanthin can be found in marine brown seaweeds, the
macroalgae, and diatoms, the microalgae, and has remarkable biological properties …

The marine environment represents a relatively untapped source of functional ingredients
that can be applied to various aspects of food processing, storage, and fortification …

For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but
also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic …

Carotenoids are natural fat-soluble pigments that provide bright coloration to plants and
animals. Dietary intake of carotenoids is inversely associated with the risk of a variety of …

Fucoxanthin is an algae-specific xanthophyll of aquatic carotenoid. It is prevalent in brown
seaweed because it functions as a light-harvesting complex for algal photosynthesis and …

It is more effective to maintain good health than to regain it after losing it. This work focuses
on the biochemical defense mechanisms against free radicals and their role in building and …
