“…Marine microalgae are organisms rich in lutein, and over the years, various methods have been developed to optimize its extraction ( Figure 2 ) [ 11 ]. There are several lutein extraction methods for marine organisms, including solvent extractions, extraction with supercritical CO 2 , extraction with ionic solvents, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and extraction with ultrasounds [ 27 ]. These methods are explained in the following paragraphs.…”

Microalgae have been reported to be excellent producers of bioactive molecules. Lutein is a pigment reported to have various beneficial effects for humans, and especially for eye well-being. In the current review, we summarize various methods that have been developed to optimize its extraction and bioactivities reported for human health. Several protective effects have been reported for lutein, including antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective activity. This review also reports attempts to increase lutein production by microalgae by changing culturing parameters or by using pilot-scale systems. Genetic engineering lutein production is also discussed. Considering the increasing aging of the worldwide population will create an increased need for lutein, a viable economic and eco-sustainable method to produce lutein is needed to face this market demand.

“…Poorly water-soluble compounds can be extracted from plant biomass in high concentrations and afterwards separated from the (Na)DES by addition of water and subsequent compound precipitation. Thus, (Na)DES, alone or in combination with other methods, can be used to extract various compounds like polyphenols, 47–51 pigments, 52 enzymes 53 and carbohydtrates. 50 Their high solubilizing capacity can be exploited to overcome limited substrate solubility in enzymatic reactions 54 as well as for separation techniques.…”

“…[47] Some focused only on the chemistry of a specific group of natural or synthetic pigments, such as flavylium-based dyes [49] or cyanines [48] or cyanines. [49] A number of articles reviewed pigments only from specific natural sources, such as fungal pigments, [8,50,51] bacterial pigments, [6,52,53] soil bacterial pigments, [54] microbial and microorganisms pigments, [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] marine pigments, [65,66] algal pigments, [67][68][69] and leaf pigments. [70] On the other hand, some articles focused mostly on the extraction [71] or stability [72,73] of some classes of pigments.…”

Natural pigments are important sources for the screening of bioactive lead compounds. This article reviewed the chemistry and therapeutic potentials of over 570 colored molecules from plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, algae, and marine sources. Moreover, related biological activities, advanced extraction, and identification approaches were reviewed. A variety of biological activities, including cytotoxicity against cancer cells, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, wound healing, anti‐microbial, antiviral, and anti‐protozoal activities, have been reported for different pigments. Considering their structural backbone, they were classified as naphthoquinones, carotenoids, flavonoids, xanthones, anthocyanins, benzotropolones, alkaloids, terpenoids, isoprenoids, and non‐isoprenoids. Alkaloid pigments were mostly isolated from bacteria and marine sources, while flavonoids were mostly found in plants and mushrooms. Colored quinones and xanthones were mostly extracted from plants and fungi, while colored polyketides and terpenoids are often found in marine sources and fungi. Carotenoids are mostly distributed among bacteria, followed by fungi and plants. The pigments isolated from insects have different structures, but among them, carotenoids and quinone/xanthone are the most important. Considering good manufacturing practices, the current permitted natural colorants are: Carotenoids (canthaxanthin, β‐carotene, β‐apo‐8′‐carotenal, annatto, astaxanthin) and their sources, lycopene, anthocyanins, betanin, chlorophyllins, spirulina extract, carmine and cochineal extract, henna, riboflavin, pyrogallol, logwood extract, guaiazulene, turmeric, and soy leghemoglobin.
