A Review on Biosynthesis, Health Benefits and Extraction Methods of Fucoxanthin, Particular Marine Carotenoids in Algae
Fucoxanthin, an allenic carotenoid, is abundant in macro and microalgae as a component of the light-harvesting complex for photosynthesis and photo protection. This carotenoid has shown important pharmaceutical bioactivity, exerting antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, anti-photoaging, anti-angiogenic, and anti-metastatic effects on a variety of biological models. This caroten...
متن کاملKeto-carotenoids are the major metabolites of dietary lutein and fucoxanthin in mouse tissues.
Fucoxanthin, a xanthophyll present in brown algae consumed in Eastern Asia, can suppress carcinogenesis and obesity in rodents. We investigated the metabolism, tissue distribution, and depletion of fucoxanthin in ICR mice by comparison with those of lutein. The experiments comprised 14-d dietary supplementation with lutein esters or fucoxanthin, followed by 41- or 28-d, respectively, depletion ...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Chlorophyll and the Carotenoids in the Algal Flagellate, Euglena
1. We have obtained an action spectrum for chlorophyll formation in Euglena gracilis. This action spectrum is similar to the absorption spectrum of protochlorophyll. However, efforts to isolate and identify this pigment have been unsuccessful. 2. Porphyrins have been extracted from both the normal and dark-adapted Euglena and a chlorophyll-free mutant. 3. The "action" spectra for chlorophyll an...
متن کاملHPLC fucoxanthin profiles of a microalga, a macroalga and a pure fucoxanthin standard
Data in this article illustrate representative fucoxanthin chromatograms of a microalga, Chaetoceros calcitrans; a macroalga, Saccharina japonica and; a pure fucoxanthin standard. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) eluted fucoxanthin at the 7.008±0.024th min. This data article refers to the research article ''Antioxidant capacities of fucoxanthin-producing algae as influenced by thei...
متن کاملHyperdiversity of Genes Encoding Integral Light-Harvesting Proteins in the Dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp
The superfamily of light-harvesting complex (LHC) proteins is comprised of proteins with diverse functions in light-harvesting and photoprotection. LHC proteins bind chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids and include a family of LHCs that bind Chl a and c. Dinophytes (dinoflagellates) are predominantly Chl c binding algal taxa, bind peridinin or fucoxanthin as the primary carotenoid, and can possess...
