Abstract:The strain bacterium Dietzia natronolimnaea has propounded as a source for biological production of canthaxanthin. Because of sensitivity of this pigment, examine on its stability is important. In this study, stability of encapsulated canthaxanthin from D. natronolimnaea HS-1 using soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS), gum acacia (GA), and maltodextrin (MD) as wall materials was investigated at 4, 25, and 45°C in light and dark conditions during 4 months of storage. It was shown that the type of walls influen… Show more

In this research, extraction and antioxidant activities of the oils from 15 varieties of Iranian date seeds were investigated. Khazravi variety (13.2%) and Kaliteh variety (6.2%) had highest and lowest yields of seeds with the average of 9.5% respectively. The highest and the lowest yields of oils were related to the Shavi-shirin variety (13.2%) and Piarom variety (6.4%) with the average of 9.5% respectively. Antioxidant activities of the oils were determined with DPPH radical scavenging assays. Results showed that Shavi-talkh and Estamaran varieties had highest and lowest activities with amount of 55.5% and 5.1% respectively (with average 30.1%). It was found that the some oils significantly reduced the concentration of DPPH free radical, with an efficacy higher than that of trolox (34.0%). These results may be encouraged interest in date seed oils for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food industries.

The aim of this review is to summarize the relevant literature about the use of canthaxanthin in food science and nutrition research. Canthaxanthin is a red-orange carotenoid that belongs to the xanthophyll group. This naturally occurring pigment is present in bacteria, algae and some fungi. Canthaxanthin is also responsible for the color of flamingo feathers, koi carp skin and crustacean shells. Canthaxanthin is widely used in poultry (broiler, laying hens) as a feed additive. Canthaxanthin can be obtained by total synthesis. The canthaxanthin-mediated color of foods is an important quality criterion for consumers. Recently, the potential health-promoting effects of canthaxanthin have been discussed. Canthaxanthin enrichment of LDL has the potential to protect cholesterol from oxidation. In addition to its free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties (e.g., the induction of catalase and superoxide dismutase), canthaxanthin's immunomodulatory activity (e.g., enhancing the proliferation and function of immune competent cells) and its important role in gap junction communication (e.g., induction of the transmembrane protein connexin 43) have been reported. Many studies regarding the potential health benefits of canthaxanthin have been conducted in vitro and should be validated in appropriate in vivo models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
