“…Among them, C18:0, C18:1, C16:0, and C16:1 were found to be major components followed by PUFA such as C22:6, C20:5, and C20:4. These fatty acid profiles were similar to those reported in some crustaceans [14][15][16] . Astaxanthin esters in crustaceans have been investigated using GC [14][15][16] , LC combined with FD-MS 17) or LC/APCI-MS 18) .…”

“…Even though the predominance of these fatty acids in the carotenoid esters of brown shrimp (Crangon vulgaris) has been reported, 24 no such preferential selection of fatty acids in the carotenoid esters of the shrimp P borealis was noted and the astaxanthin esters contained only even-number fatty acids. 12 No such observations were made in the present study. The carotenoid esters of marine animals living in cold waters contain a higher level of unsaturated fatty acids than the carotenoid esters of marine animals from warm waters.…”

“…The carotenoid esters of marine animals living in cold waters contain a higher level of unsaturated fatty acids than the carotenoid esters of marine animals from warm waters. 12 A higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids has been observed in esterified astaxanthin from shrimp (P borealis) waste. 25 In the present study the carotenoid esters of shrimps from tropical waters around India showed a predominance of saturated fatty acids.…”

Carotenoids in different body components of Indian shrimps

The quantitative and qualitative distribution of carotenoids in different body components of four species of shrimp (Penaeus monodon, Penaeus indicus, Metapenaeus dobsonii and Parapenaeopsis stylifera) harvested from shallow waters off the Indian coast was assessed. The highest total carotenoid contents were observed in the head (153.1 µg g −1 ) and carapace (104.7 µg g −1 ) of P stylifera, while the body components of P indicus showed the lowest carotenoid levels. Astaxanthin and its mono-and diesters were the major carotenoids (63.5-92.2% of total carotenoids) present in the carotenoid extracts from the shrimps, while the extracts contained low levels of β-carotene and zeaxanthin. The major fatty acids in the carotenoid extracts were palmitic, heptadecanoic, palmitoleic, stearic and oleic acids.

“…Both free and fatty acid-esterifi ed astaxanthin in H. pluvialis have optically pure (3S, 30S)-chirality [ 59 ]. The Phaffi a yeast contains pure 3R, 30R astaxanthin, and synthetic astaxanthin is a mixture of all three isomers [ 60 ].…”

Carotenoids comprise a diverse group of natural biomolecules with a plethora of benefi cial effects. These compounds include potent bioantioxidants, provitamins, and safe colourants that are in high demand by pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. A few species of unicellular algae (called carotenogenic microalgae ) mainly the representatives of Chlorophyta, are among the richest biological source of carotenoids such as β-carotene and astaxanthin . This chapter covers the mass cultivation of the microalgae in closed systems (photobioreactors) for the production of value-added carotenoids. The biochemistry and regulation of the biosynthes is of secondary carotenoids are considered together with the biotechnology of most important carotenogenic microalgae species. Special attention is paid to the real-time optical monitoring of carotenoid accumulation in microalgal cultures.
