“…Poultry cannot synthesize these compounds and must obtain carotenoids from their diets [4]. The absorption and accumulation of carotenoids are affected by diets, diseases, and parasitic infestations [6,7]. The levels of plasma carotenoids were markedly reduced after chickens were infected with Eimeria acervulina and Eimeria tenella [6,41].…”

“…Several synthetic colorants and natural source pigments, which have the disadvantage of being more expensive, have been used in feeds in China to give the finished poultry a desirable yellow color. The absorption and accumulation of pigment in broiler tissue have been shown to be altered by many factors, such as diet composition, disease, and parasitic infestations [6,7]. Carcass color traits are also known to be affected by diets treated with probiotics [8,9].…”

SUMMARYTwo experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of Lactobacillus culture (LC) on growth performance and color of the meat and skin of broiler chickens. A total of 362 oneday-old Arbor Acres broilers were allocated to 7 treatments, with 7 strains of LC in experiment 1. The results showed significant differences in the color of shank skin and the growth performance of starter broilers among dietary supplements with different strains of LC. The effect of LC on xanthophyll deposition and color of the meat and skin of birds was evaluated with 1 strain of Lactobacillus MA (Lactobacillus salivarius) in experiment 2. A total of 208 one-dayold male Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 4 treatments with 4 replicates each (13 birds per pen). Birds were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.5, or 2.5% of L. salivarius cultures (LSC) from d 1 to 42. The results showed that Roche color fan scores of the shank skin were significantly increased at d 21 and 42 (P < 0.001) for chickens fed LSC. Xanthophyll content in the shank skin of birds provided feed supplemented with LSC was increased to 2.12 and 1.84 μg/10π mm 2 from 0.95 μg/10π mm 2 of the control group (P < 0.001). Yellowness (b*) values for thigh meat color were significantly increased for birds fed LSC (P < 0.05). It was concluded that dietary supplementation with LC increased the xanthophyll concentration in tissue and the Roche color fan scores of the shank skin of chickens.

“…One of the most abundant natural sources of lutein is the Marigold flower (Tagetes erecta), which upon extraction with organic solvents yields a mixture of trans-lutein diesters (Tyczkowski and Hamilton, 1991) (Fig. 1), esterified with C 12 -C 16 fatty acids.…”

The enzymatic hydrolysis of a mixture of lutein diesters from Marigold flower (Tagetes erecta) was performed both in organic solvents and supercritical CO(2) (SC-CO(2)) using two commercial lipases: lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) and the lipase from Mucor miehei (Lipozyme RM IM). Both lipases showed an unexpected dependence of initial reaction rate with the initial water activity (a(wi)) in hexane, with the highest rates of hydrolysis taking place at the lowest a(wi) of the biocatalyst particles. The same result was observed using isooctane, toluene, or SC-CO(2). It is proposed that an increase in a(wi) generates a hydrophilic microenvironment that prevents efficient partitioning of the highly hydrophobic lutein diesters to the enzyme. The critical role of water in this system has not been reported for other hydrolytic reactions in low water media. Calculations of water available for hydrolysis from isotherm analysis, Karl-Fischer titration, and substrate conversion at a(wi) = 0.13, indicate that the extent of reaction is not limited by the amount of available water. Accordingly, the enzyme that holds the largest amount of water after prehydration at the same a(wi) (0.13) will yield the greatest substrate conversion and concentration of the free lutein product. The highest conversion occurred in SC-CO(2), which opens up new opportunities to develop a combined extraction-reaction process for the environmentally benign synthesis of lutein, an important nutraceutical compound.

“…The crude carotenoid fraction was also further separated in a preparative flash column chromatography equipped with silica gel in a bench scale starting from 5 kg of alga and achieving 6 g lutein with its yield of 50% [7]. From the practical point of view, it has been stated that chromatographic separation is economically more feasible than recrystallization of lutein due to a lower yield achieved by recrystallization and its more time consuming procedure [16]. In addition Phaeodactylum tricornutum species was saponified with KOH/ethanol followed by extraction of the unsaponified fraction with hexane and hydrolyzing fatty acids with HCl and extraction of fatty acids with hexane [19].…”
