Rich microbial and depolymerising diversity in Antarctic krill gut [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumWith almost a quadrillion individuals, the Antarctic krill processes five million tons of organic carbon every day during austral summer. This high carbon flux requires a broad range of hydrolytic enzymes to decompose the diverse food-derived biopolymers.

Research Progress in Oxidation Stability of Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) Oil and Review of Methods for Its Control [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 Antarctic krill oil is rich in phospholipid eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid with high bioavailability. It is a high-quality source of ω-3 fatty acids and is a potential substitute for fish oil.

The Important but Mysterious Antarctic Krill
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2023 Antarctic krill are very important animals. They are well-known as the food of ocean giants such as blue whales, but they also feed many other animals and help to slow climate change by keeping millions of tons of carbon out of the air. Antarctic krill grow no longer than a human thumb, but together they weigh more than any other wild animal species ...

Characteristics of autolysis of antarctic krill. [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1981 The rate of autolysis after thawing in intact frozen krill (whole body, cephalothorax, and abdomen) and in its homogenates was studied by determining both the increase of TCA-soluble nitrogen and the change of protein pattern in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Autolysis in the intact state proceeded rapidly in the separated cephalothorax, but ...

Hot-air Drying of Antarctic Krill Under Variable Temperature Process
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023 In order to explore a kind of hot-air drying of Antarctic krill under variable temperature process, the drying time, protein, fat and astaxanthin content were taken as indicators, the effects of first phase of the drying temperature, second phase of the ...
