“…The fact that ethanol is an excellent extraction solvent for astaxanthin (but not so for the omega-3 diesters) was recently experimentally confirmed by scholars in China who, under the optimal conditions of solid-liquid ratio 1:7, T = 50 °C, and 20 min extraction time, obtained a 50.32 μg/g astaxanthin yield from fresh Pandalus borealis shells, eventually obtaining an astaxanthin extract with 0.34% content. 13 Our computational results are also in agreement with the fact that a considerably higher yield of 72.42 µg/g was obtained by extracting the carotenoid from the shells of deep-water pink shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) fished in Tunisia with acetone in the dark at 4°C. 14 Besides exclluding light, the latter process required the use of 20 mg of synthetic (and toxic) antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene to prevent astaxanthin oxidative degradation.…”

A shrimp oil rich in omega-3 lipids and carotenoids is obtained in remarkably high 5 wt% yield extending to pink shrimp processing waste (head and carapace) the circular economy approach to extract fish oil from fish processing by-products using dlimonene. Biobased limonene, a powerful antimicrobial and antioxidant agent, is an excellent solvent for both lipids and astaxanthin-based carotenoids preventing oxidative degradation during the extraction cycle including solvent and oil separation at 85°C. A new low cost route is established to extract valued marine oil from biowaste annually made available in over 2.2 million tonnes.

“…Fish and shellfish by-products are also an important source of bioactive compounds imparting multiple health benefits. For example, several bioactive compounds can be isolated from processing waste of shrimps, one of the most widely consumed seafoods, including chito-oligosaccharides from chitin, astaxanthin a red carotenoid with high antioxidant capacity, and Ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [164][165][166]. Salmon nasal cartilage is a valuable source of bioactive proteoglycans reported for anti-angiogenic activity, relieving joint pain discomfort in elderly people and promoting wound healing [167][168][169]177].…”

Bioactives from Agri-Food Wastes: Present Insights and Future Challenges

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable utilization of agri-food wastes and by-products for producing value-added products (for cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food industrial applications) provides an opportunity for earning additional income for the dependent industrial sector. Besides, effective valorisation of wastes/by-products can efficiently help in reducing environmental stress by decreasing unwarranted pollution. The major focus of this review is to provide comprehensive information on valorisation of agri-food wastes and by-products with focus laid on bioactive compounds and bioactivity. The review covers the bioactives identified from wastes and by-products of plants (fruits, exotic fruits, vegetables and seeds), animals (dairy and meat) and marine (fish, shellfish seaweeds) resources. Further, insights on the present status and future challenges of sustainably utilizing agri-food wastes/by-products for value addition will be highlighted.

“…The production of astaxanthin from microalgae is profitable and already established on a global scale because microalgae dominate natural astaxanthin production per unit dry weight (DW). For example, microalga Haematococcus pluvialis can produce astaxanthin at > 4% per DW [17], which is favourable when compared to the bacterium Paracoccus carotinifaciens (2.2% DW) [18], the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma (<0.5% DW) of (3R,3’R)-astaxanthin [19,20] and shrimp/crab shells (<0.025% DW) [21]. The commercial production of beta-carotene is increasing as well; meanwhile, other less established pigments (e.g., lutein, zeaxanthin, fucoxanthin) are also gaining momentum.…”

Microalgae produce a variety of compounds that are beneficial to human and animal health. Among these compounds are carotenoids, which are microalgal pigments with unique antioxidant and coloring properties. The objective of this review is to evaluate the potential of using microalgae as a commercial feedstock for carotenoid production. While microalgae can produce some of the highest concentrations of carotenoids (especially astaxanthin) in living organisms, there are challenges associated with the mass production of microalgae and downstream processing of carotenoids. This review discusses the synthesis of carotenoids within microalgae, their physiological role, large-scale cultivation of microalgae, up- and down-stream processing, commercial applications, natural versus synthetic carotenoids, and opportunities and challenges facing the carotenoid markets. We emphasize legal aspects and regulatory challenges associated with the commercial production of microalgae-based carotenoids for food/feed, nutraceutical and cosmetic industry in Europe, the USA, the People’s Republic of China, and Japan. This review provides tools and a broad overview of the regulatory processes of carotenoid production from microalgae and other novel feedstocks.
