“…The structure of fucoxanthin includes a usual allenic bond and 5, 6‐monoepoxide in its molecule, and almost all of them were trans ‐fucoxanthin in brown algae (Jaswir et al ., ). Fucoxanthin was also responsible for antioxidant activity of algal extracts reported by several researchers (Fung et al ., ; Foo et al ., ).…”

SummarySix brown algae, Sargassum vestitum, Sargassum linearifolium, Phyllospora comosa, Padina sp., Hormosira banksii and Sargassum podocanthum, were investigated for the chemical profile and antioxidant activity. The results showed that the extracts H. banksii, S. vestitum and Padina sp. indicated the significantly higher total phenolic compound (TPC) and antioxidant activities (ABTS, DPPH and FRAP) compared to the other species (P < 0.05) and comparable to positive controls: butylated hydroxytoluene, ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol at the concentrations (0.06-1 mg mL À1 ). Fucoxanthin was also found in six species and isolated for evaluating antioxidant activity. In addition, the phenolic compounds were mainly responsible for antioxidant activity of the extracts, while fucoxanthin showed quite high antioxidant activity. It is suggested that S. vestitum, H. banksii and Padina sp. have the potent for extracting bioactive components and further applications in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Astaxanthin is a high value keto‐carotenoid pigment renowned for its commercial application in various industries comprising aquaculture, food, cosmetic, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical. Among the verified bio‐resources of astaxanthin are red yeast Phaffia rhodozyma and green alga Haematococcus pluvialis. The supreme antioxidant property of astaxanthin reveals its tremendous potential to offer manifold health benefits among aquatic animals which is a key driving factor triggering the upsurge in global demand for the pigment. Numerous scientific researches devoted over a number of years have persistently demonstrated the instrumental role of astaxanthin in targeting several animal health conditions. This review article evaluates the current best available evidence to judge the beneficial usage of astaxanthin in aquaculture industry. Most apparent is the profound effect on pigmentation, where astaxanthin is frequently utilized as an additive in formulated diets to boost and improve the coloration of many aquatic animal species, and subsequently product quality and price. Moreover, the wide range of other physiological benefits that this biological pigment confers to these animals is also presented which include various improvements in survival, growth performance, reproductive capacity, stress tolerance, disease resistance and immune‐related gene expression.

“…Carotenoids such as astaxanthin are known for their metal‐chelating properties (Polyakov, Focsan, Bowman, and Kispert, ). Studies on the iron‐chelating activity of fucoxanthin‐containing extracts are available in the literature (Budhiyanti, Raharjo, Marseno, & Lelana, ; Foo et al, ). These studies found a similar high iron‐chelating activity to that reported in the present study.…”

Fucoxanthin, a nonprovitamin A carotenoid, is a yellowish‐brown pigment found abundantly in brown algae. Along with chlorophyll a, it is bound to proteins and acts as a light‐harvesting and a light‐transferring pigment. The occurrence of carotenoids and chlorophylls in photosynthetic tissues complicates the isolation of pure fucoxanthin. The present study deals with a method for the isolation of fucoxanthin by low‐temperature crystallization and testing its antioxidant activity both in in vitro assays and in 5% oil‐in‐water emulsion. The yield of fucoxanthin obtained with this method ranged from 0.1% to 0.5% of dried algae depending on the species. Fucoxanthin showed good α,α‐diphenyl‐β‐picrylhydrazyl radical‐scavenging and iron‐chelating properties. However, it showed low reducing power and was poor in the inhibition of lipid oxidation in a liposome model system. When tested in 5% fish oil‐in‐water emulsion with iron as an oxidation inducer, fucoxanthin showed antioxidant activity by resulting in low levels of volatile oxidation products and low tocopherol loss compared to control and butylated hydroxytoluene.
