Abstract
ABSTRACT Arabian deep-sea red shrimp Aristeus alcocki is considered to be an ideal source of pigments, especially astaxanthin, and its analogs. Extraction of pigments from exoskeleton discards of A. alcocki was analyzed by using organic solvents, namely, n-hexane, acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, and ethanol under cold and hot conditions. A significantly greater pigments yield was obtained using acetone: methanol (1:1 v/v) (10.4-10.9%) and ethanol (9.3-9.7%) extractions compared with conventional acetone extract (7.4-8.1%) (p < 0.05). Chromatographic experiments with the pigment extracts showed the presence of free astaxanthin, astaxanthin mono-ester, and astaxanthin di-ester. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology publishes research papers, short communications, and review articles concerning the application of science and technology and biotechnology to all aspects of research, innovation, production, and distribution of food products originating from the marine and freshwater bodies of the world. The journal features articles on various aspects of basic and applied science in topics related to:
-harvesting and handling practices-
processing with traditional and new technologies-
refrigeration and freezing-
packaging and storage-
safety and traceability-
byproduct utilization-
consumer attitudes toward aquatic food.
The Journal also covers basic studies of aquatic products as related to food chemistry, microbiology, and engineering, such as all flora and fauna from aquatic environs, including seaweeds and underutilized species used directly for human consumption or alternative uses. Special features in the journal include guest editorials by specialists in their fields and book reviews covering a wide range of topics.
