Journal ArticleDOI
Astaxanthin: a review of its chemistry and applications.
TL;DR: The current available evidence regarding astaxanthin chemistry and its potential beneficial effects in humans is reviewed and an unusual antioxidant activity which has caused a surge in the nutraceutical market for the encapsulated product is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microencapsulation of astaxanthin in a chitosan matrix
Inocencio Higuera-Ciapara,Leticia Felix-Valenzuela,Francisco M. Goycoolea,Waldo Argüelles-Monal +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, synthetic astaxanthin was microencapped in a chitosan matrix cross-linked with glutaraldehyde by using the method of multiple emulsion/solvent evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecularly Imprinted Chitosan−Genipin Hydrogels with Recognition Capacity toward o-Xylene
Bibiana M. Espinosa-Garcia,Waldo Argüelles-Monal,Javier Hernández,Leticia Felix-Valenzuela,Niuris Acosta,Francisco M. Goycoolea +5 more
TL;DR: The MIH(o-xylene) showed a low adsorption when 2-fluorotoluene was used in rebinding experiments, suggesting that molecular recognition by the binding sites is influenced by the electronic and steric properties of the analyte molecule, thus effectively confirming the imprinting effect within the MIH
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical co2/ethanol extraction of astaxanthin from blue crab (callinectes sapidus) shell waste
Leticia Felix-Valenzuela,Inocencio Higuera-Ciapara,Francisco M. Goycoolea-Valencia,Waldo Argüelles-Monal +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of supercritical CO 2 and ethanol as a cosolvent was extracted from demineralized crab (Callinectes sapidus) shell waste and the effect of total solids load, pressure and temperature was assessed by response surface methodology.
