Stability of fucoxanthin was assessed in dried Undaria pinnatifida (wakame). After 210 days storage of dried wakame in the dark at 50℃, the stability of fucoxanthin was higher than that of purified fucoxanthin incubated at both 20℃ and 40℃. Furthermore, we analyzed the stability of fucoxanthin in scones containing 0.5 − 2 wt% commercial dried wakame powder. More than 85% of the fucoxanthin remained unchanged in the scones after heating the dough at 190℃ for 30 min. Sensory analysis indicated that although the addition of wakame powder darkened the appearance and strengthened both the taste and smell of the scones, they remained acceptable. Furthermore, overall sensory scores showed that scones containing 0.5 wt% and 2 wt% wakame powder were more favorable than control scones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
