Comparative Profiles of Lipophilic Nutrients and In Vitro Antioxidant Activity in Commercial Arabica and Robusta Green Coffee Beans

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Integrated compositional profiling of ten commercial green coffee lots showed higher mean total phenolic content, DPPH radical‐scavenging activity, β‐carotene, and total phytosterols in Robusta‐labeled lots, whereas Arabica‐labeled lots showed higher mean total tocopherols and total measured fatty acids.

Influence of Direct Saponification Conditions on Sterol Yield and Composition of the Unsaponifiable Fraction of the Microalga Isochrysis galbana and the Seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saponification is a key step for recovering the unsaponifiable fraction (USF) of lipids, which contains bioactive sterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. This study optimized direct saponification conditions (50–300 g L−1 KOH; 60°C–100°C) to recover sterol‐rich USFs from the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum,

Assessing the Impact of Environment on the Color of Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta) in the Wild

Ecology and Evolution
Animal coloration is a complex phenotype that may be affected by genetics, evolution, ecology, and environment. Disentangling the impact of environment on phenotype can often be done in laboratory studies, but the results do not necessarily correspond to

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Valorization of Textile Waste: Enzymatic Upcycling of Terephthalic Acid Toward a Sustainable PET Value Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global textile industry, driven by the fast‐fashion paradigm, which is characterized by low‐cost, short‐lived garments made from inexpensive synthetic fibers, has intensified environmental pressures through increased waste generation, resource depletion, microplastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions ...

Potential for Carotenoid and Other Bioproducts Production by a Brazilian Dunaliella salina Isolate Using a High Photon Flux Density Strategy

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dunaliella species are among the most significant biological sources of carotenoids, notably beta‐carotene. Given that chemical synthesis offers a more cost‐effective alternative to biotechnological cultivation, optimizing production strategies is essential for economic viability.

Bioeconomy, sustainability, and digital technologies in Haematococcus lacustris biomass and astaxanthin production: advances and outlook

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties, used in research on cancer treatment, ocular injuries, and neurological disorders. When produced by the microalgae Haematococcus lacustris, its antioxidant potential is even higher than that of the synthetic molecule, making it particularly attractive for pharmaceutical and ...

Valorization of bark extracts from Cerrado and Amazon species: phenolic characterization, antioxidant capacity, and photoprotective potential for circular bioeconomy applications

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree bark remains an underexploited source of high‐value‐added phenolic compounds with potential circular bioeconomy applications. This work characterized bark extracts from two species of distinct Brazilian biomes, Stryphnodendron adstringens (Cerrado) and Myrcia eximia (Amazon), obtained with three solvents (ethanol, methanol and acetone ...

Carotenoids.

Chimia, 2011
This short review intends to present some key facts on carotenoids in a popular scientific language on the occasion of the International Year of Chemistry. Carotenoids have a characteristic C40H56 structure and represent a market value of several hundred million Euros. Their chemical synthesis is still a demanding challenge for chemists.
