Carotenoid and color changes in traditionally flaked and extruded products
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of process and formulation on individual carotenoid loss in traditionally prepared cornflakes and those prepared by extrusion. The first step in the traditional process ...
Carotenoids in Integument, Muscle, and Midgut Gland of Red Shrimp Pleoticus muelleri Bate, 1888 (Crustacea, Penaeoidea) Fed Carotenoid-Supplemented Diets
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology (SIAMB), 2011-08)
Carotenoids stimulate immune systems in animals. Since animals cannot synthesize carotenoids, they must be included in feeds. Oxidative pathways suggested for the metabolism of dietary carotenoids include β-carotene and ...
Carotenoids gene markers for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam): applications in genetic mapping, diversity evaluation and cross‑species transference
(Springer, 2014-04)
Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants, and genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway are evolutionarily conserved. Orange sweetpotato is an important source of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin ...
Incorporation and stability of carotenoids in a functional fermented maize yogurt-like product containing phytosterols
(Elsevier, 2019-04-30)
A functional yogurt-like product based on fermented maize enriched in carotenoids and phytosterols was developed to be an alternative to existing functional dairy products. Incorporation and stability of fat-soluble compounds ...
Carotenoid profile produced by Bacillus licheniformis Rt4M10 isolated from grapevines grown in high altitude and their antioxidant activity
(2018-07)
Bacillus licheniformis (BL) strains are used for industrial production of exoenzymes, antibiotics and secondary metabolites, and also serve as probiotics. Some strains sequester heavy metals, promoting plant growth or ...
Effects on chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in different grape varieties (Vitis vinifera L.) after nitrogen and elicitor foliar applications to the vineyard
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Photosynthetic pigments, including carotenoids are important secondary metabolites, which play a key role in photosynthesis. There is little information about the effects of nitrogen and elicitor applications on chlorophyll ...
Influence of olive mill waste phenolic compounds levels on carotenoid production by Rhodotorula spp.
(Elsevier, 2022-06-16)
Olive oil production using the two-phase extraction system generates large amounts of biomass named alperujo, which has high percentage of water, slightly acidic pH, and high concentration of salts, organic matter, and ...
Effect of dietary carotenoids on Argentine red shrimp broodstock
(World Aquaculture Society, 2015-03)
Use of bioactive substances, such as nutritional additives, to improve the yields of cultured shrimp is a topic that has received increasing attention to define the biological function of carotenoids as a dietary supplement. ...
Need and Seek for Dietary Micronutrients: Endogenous Regulation, External Signalling and Food Sources of Carotenoids in New World Vultures
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-13)
Among birds, vultures show low concentrations of plasma carotenoids due to the combination of their large size, general dull colouration and a diet based on carrion. We recorded the concentration of each carotenoid type ...
Maize kernel color depends on the interaction between hardness and carotenoid concentration
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-01)
Maize kernel color and carotenoid concentration are traits valued by the food industry to ensure the quality of their products. Correlations between color and carotenoid concentration have been extensively reported. Based ...
