Degradation Mechanisms, Encapsulation‐Based Stabilization, and Analytical Detection of Vitamin A

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an important lipid‐soluble micronutrient essential for vision, immune function, and overall growth and development. However, vitamin A is unstable and susceptible to environmental factors because of its conjugated structure and inherent chemical reactivity.

Dietary fatty acid determines the intestinal absorption of lutein in lutein deficient mice. [PDF]

, 2014
The present investigation was undertaken to study the influence of dietary lipids [olive (OO), coconut (CNO), groundnut (GNO), soybean (SBO), sunflower (SFO), rice bran (RBO), corn (CO), palm (PO), fish (FO) oils] on the bioavailability and antioxidant

The effect of modified eggs and an egg-yolk based beverage on serum lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations and macular pigment optical density: results from a randomized trial.

PLoS ONE, 2014
UnlabelledIncreasing evidence suggests a beneficial effect of lutein and zeaxanthin on the progression of age-related macular degeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lutein or zeaxanthin enriched eggs or a lutein enriched egg-

Encapsulation of Lutein via Microfluidic Technology: Evaluation of Stability and In Vitro Bioaccessibility

Foods, 2021
Inadequate intake of lutein is relevant to a higher risk of age-related eye diseases. However, lutein has been barely incorporated into foods efficiently because it is prone to degradation and is poorly bioaccessible in the gastrointestinal tract ...

Soaking Water Management Strategies for Enhanced Quality of Parboiled Rice

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Parboiling is a hydrothermal process that alters rice physicochemical and nutritional properties. The soaking step is crucial, influencing off‐flavor formation, mineral retention, and effluent quality. This study evaluated five soaking water (SW) management strategies combining different frequencies and volumes of SW ...

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

Exploratory Metabolomic Analyses Reveal Compounds Correlated with Lutein Concentration in Frontal Cortex, Hippocampus, and Occipital Cortex of Human Infant Brain.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Lutein is a dietary carotenoid well known for its role as an antioxidant in the macula, and recent reports implicate a role for lutein in cognitive function. Lutein is the dominant carotenoid in both pediatric and geriatric brain tissue.

Photosynthetic Accumulation of Lutein in Auxenochlorella protothecoides after Heterotrophic Growth

Marine Drugs, 2018
In order to enhance lutein accumulation and to explain the reasons for the difference in lutein accumulation under photoautotrophic and heterotrophic conditions, different culture modes and the associated transcriptome profiles were investigated in ...

Optimising the Eco‐Friendly Extraction of Carotenoids From Gac Fruit: A Sustainable Solution for Natural Red Food Colourants

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Gac fruit's high carotenoid content, especially in the aril, makes it an excellent natural red pigment source for food applications, offering a safer alternative to synthetic dyes. Ethanol extraction achieved the highest overall pigment recovery (89.53%), whereas ethyl lactate extraction yielded the highest levels of total carotenoids, β‐carotene ...
