Unveiling the underlying molecular mechanisms of high lutein production efficiency in Chlorella sorokiniana FZU60 under a mixotrophy/photoautotrophy two-stage strategy by transcriptomic, physiological, and biochemical analyses

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Background Chlorella sorokiniana FZU60 is a promising lutein producing microalga. A mixotrophy/photoautotrophy two-stage strategy can achieve high biomass concentration at stage 1 and high lutein content at stage 2, leading to excellent lutein production

Lutein and the Aging Eye [PDF]

, 2018
Lutein is a carotenoid highly concentrated in the macula of the retina. Lutein cannot be synthesized and must be supplied in the diet, for example, dark green leafy vegetable and egg yolk.

Lutein Supplementation for Eye Diseases [PDF]

, 2020
Lutein is one of the few xanthophyll carotenoids that is found in high concentration in the macula of human retina. As de novo synthesis of lutein within the human body is impossible, lutein can only be obtained from diet.

Lipoprotein Changes Following Consumption of Lutein-enriched Eggs are Associated with Enhanced Lutein Bioavailability [PDF]

, 2017
utein is concentrated in the retina and since it cannot be synthesized by the human body, its uptake depends on nutritional intake. Lutein-enriched eggs are a good lutein source, but whether changes in lipoprotein status following lutein-enriched egg ...

Lutein accumulates in subcellular membranes of brain regions in adult rhesus macaques: Relationship to DHA oxidation products. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Lutein, a carotenoid with anti-oxidant functions, preferentially accumulates in primate brain and is positively related to cognition in humans. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), is also beneficial for cognition ...

Lutein attenuates angiotensin II- induced cardiac remodeling by inhibiting AP-1/IL-11 signaling

Redox Biology, 2021
Rationale: Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the development of cardiac remodeling and heart failure. Lutein, the predominant nonvitamin A carotenoid, has been shown to have profound effects on oxidative stress.

Enabling Bioprocess Upscaling Prediction Through Hybrid Modelling and Transfer Learning Under Small‐Data Scenarios

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of bioprocess scale‐up is critical for accelerating the deployment of novel and sustainable biomanufacturing systems. However, this remains challenging as multi‐scale data is expensive to generate and mechanistic understanding is often incomplete, leading upscaling decisions to rely heavily on empirical expertise. This work

Surfactant-Enhanced Extraction of Lutein from Marigold Petals using an Aqueous Two-Phase System

Separations, 2023
The extraction of lutein from marigold petals using a surfactant-based aqueous two-phase system is reported. In this work, the effectiveness of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of surfactants on extraction performance for the extraction of lutein from ...

From apex to base: Uncovering spatial metabolic adaptation in Antarctic mosses

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Antarctic mosses survive extreme cold, desiccation, UV exposure, and oxidative stress. We analyzed three species by separating apical, middle, and basal zones. Each zone showed distinct metabolite patterns and biological roles, revealing spatial metabolic specialization. The results suggest that whole‐plant survival depends on coordinated contributions

Development of a lutein-fortified sports beverage and lutein-fortified cupcakes, and bioavailability study to evaluate their capacity to increase lutein levels in human blood

Journal of Functional Foods
The carotenoid lutein is a bioactive that protects the retina and supports brain health. However, lutein-rich foods such as leafy greens, maize and eggs are insufficiently consumed. We developed a lutein-fortified isotonic sports beverage (9.94 ± 0.17 mg
