“…Concerning carotenoids, according to Yaqoob et al [34], the greatest market for them being used as a natural coloring agent is predicted to be Western Europe, followed by the US, in 2024, when consumption of natural carotenoids is projected to reach 2699.8 Mt. Together, the following compounds account for over 90% of the market's value: capsanthin, astaxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein, annatto, lycopene, and canthaxanthin.…”

A framework for assessing, from a sustainability and circular bioeconomy point of view, the best valorization approach for biorefineries side-streams has been developed and validated. Two biorefinery side streams are considered as case-studies for validation: rapeseed meal from biodiesel and corn oil from bioethanol production. Firstly, a methodology to evaluate different valorization scenarios has been developed following a holistic approach that addresses technical aspects, environmental impact, and economic analysis. This way, a framework (inspired by the Battelle Method and using insights from Multicriteria Decision Analysis) has been produced where the sustainability potential of each scenario can be assessed. Such framework has been validated for five valorization scenarios for rapeseed meal and seven scenarios for corn oil. It can be concluded that protein extraction through alkaline (NaOH) hydrolysis is the best approach for rapeseed meal valorization while carotenoids recovery through ion exchange extraction is the most suitable strategy for corn oil. Secondly, for the selected scenarios, an estimation of the maximum recoverable amount of valuable compounds is conducted at the European and country-level. The use of this framework substantially aids in the best choice of the cutting-edge conversion technologies, supporting industry practitioners in the selection of processes to be further scaled-up.

Aquaculture continues to expand swiftly and remains the fastest-growing food industry worldwide amidst ever-present threats from chronic stressors and emerging diseases. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the profitability and viability of the aquaculture industry that steered a paradigm shift to therapeutic nutrition. Carotenoids, also termed tetraterpenoids, have garnered considerable attention owing to their therapeutic attributes and immeasurable health benefits, which incited a surge in global demand. These biological pigments are recognized to promote immune systems and antioxidant defence mechanisms in both aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates. This review brings forth existing scientific evidence and underscores the notable roles of carotenoids as biologically active constituents with anti-stress and immunostimulatory potentials in farmed aquatic animals whilst explicating possible mechanisms of action. Empirical data unequivocally established the modulatory functions of carotenoids on endogenous antioxidant enzymes, innate and adaptive arms of the immune response, as well as the expression of multiple antioxidant and immune-related genes. The comprehensive information presented is beneficial to deepen our understanding of the utilization of carotenoids as potent stress alleviators and immunostimulants in cultured aquatic animals, which is translated into improved health.Advancements in aquatic animal health and welfare could principally contribute to reconstructing a more sustainable aquaculture industry. This article may be useful for subsequent investigations towards further advances in research and innovation to a greener blue revolution in solving the challenge of global food security.

“…In addition, algal carotenoids can significantly satisfy the exponentially growing global carotenoid demand, which is projected to reach $1.85 billion by 2026. 5 In this context, strain improvement is essential as natural wildtype (WT) strains still lack high productivity and the desired biochemical composition. Improvements in biomass and bioproduct yield through genetic engineering, random mutagenesis, or adaptive laboratory evolution have been reported for several algal strains.…”

Random mutagenesis is an effective strategy for enhancing cellular traits. In this study, we used the mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate to create fast-growing Nannochloropsis oculata mutants. When cultivated in a photobioreactor with a diel cycle, two mutants exhibited 2.2-fold higher carbohydrate productivity and 3.5–4.0-fold higher pigment productivity than the wild type, while one of them also showed 2.5-fold higher lipid productivity. A comprehensive physiological, metabolomic, and lipidomic study showed that the mutants had high levels of glucose-, galactose-, and xylose-based carbohydrates. Their high growth rate was attributed to increased chlorophyll a content, improved nitrogen assimilation, storage, and recycling, and low monogalactosyldiacyl glycerol/digalactosyldiacyl glycerol ratio, which was responsible for higher biomass productivity. The investigation revealed upregulation of lipid precursors, shedding light on high lipid accumulation. The derived algae strains are capable of increasing the biosynthesis of value-added storage molecules without impairing growth, rendering them promising candidates for commercial development in future biorefineries.
