Astaxanthin as a Medical Food [PDF]
Functional Foods in Health and Disease, 2013 Astaxanthin is a red pigment that belongs to the carotenoid family like β-carotene. And it’s found in seafood such as crustaceans: shrimp and crabs and fish: salmon and sea bream. Recently, astaxanthin has been reported to have antioxidant activity up to 100 times more potent than that of vitamin E against lipid peroxidation and about 40 times more ...

Extraction of Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis and Preparation of Astaxanthin Liposomes
MoleculesAstaxanthin has 550 times more antioxidant activity than vitamin E, so it can scavenge free radicals in vivo and improve body immunity. However, the poor stability of astaxanthin becomes a bottleneck problem that limits its application. Herein, Haematococcus pluvialis (H.

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.BslA is a promising tool to create an robust self‐emulsifying biocatalysis platform by reducing the droplet sizes of emulsion and improving its stability. It could guarantee the efficient hydrolysis of astaxanthin esters catalyzed by Est3‐14 without extra emusifier, increasing the yield of free astaxanthin to 184 μg·mL−1.

Astaxanthin: structural and functional aspects [PDF]
Revista de Nutrição, 2010 Astaxanthin, a carotenoid belonging to the xanthophyll class, has stirred great interest due to its antioxidant capacity and its possible role in reducing the risk of some diseases. Astaxanthin occurs naturally in microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis and the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma, and has also been considered to be the major carotenoid in ...

A Simplified Approach for Electrochemical Allylic Oxidation of Olefins
Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.A simple method for electrochemical allylic oxidation of olefins is established. t‐Butyl hydroperoxide serves in a dual‐role as mediator and oxygen source. Metal‐free and robust electrode materials such as glassy carbon, graphite, or boron‐doped diamond can be employed.
