“…The keto-carotenoid astaxanthin (3,3 ′ -dihydroxy-β,β-carotene-4,4 ′ -dione) is the main carotenoid responsible for the reddish or pinkish color of most wild fish (Dhankhar et al, 2012;Carvalho and Caramujo, 2017). Therefore, many studies used it, from natural or synthetic sources, to induce pink or red skin coloration (Tejera et al, 2007;Chatzifotis et al, 2011;Kalinowski et al, 2011Kalinowski et al, , 2015.…”

A study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of supplementing commercial feeds with Car-ophyll® Pink, a gelatin-encapsuled astaxanthin, on growth parameters, lipid composition, pigment concentration and skin color of commercial size red porgy. Three isonitrogenous diets were formulated containing different levels of astaxantin: Ctrl diet (no pigment added), A 50 diet (with 50 mg/kg of astaxanthin) and A 80 diet (with 80 mg/ kg of astaxanthin). Four groups of fish (386.29 ± 29.50 g initial weight) were grown in triplicate tanks (10 fish per tank). Ctrl, A 50 and A 80 groups were fed the respective diets to apparent satiation for 180 days, while a fourth group was fed A 50 diet for 90 days followed by A 80 diet for another 90 days (A 50 A 80 ). At the end of trial muscle samples were collected for composition analysis, liver and mesenteric fat for lipid composition determination and skin samples for carotenoids quantification. Dietary astaxanthin supplementation had no effect on growth performance and hepatosomatic index. However, A 50 A 80 group displayed a lower muscle protein content and higher fat content when compared to the other groups. There was no clear effect of dietary astaxanthin supplementation on the liver's and mesenteric fatty acid profile. Although there was no significant effect on skin total carotenoids, the astaxanthin content tended to increase in fish fed astaxanthin supplemented diets, which was reflected on redness values. Accordingly, dietary astaxanthin supplementation (at 50 or 80 mg/kg for 6 months or at 50 mg/kg for 3 months followed by 80 mg/kg for 3 months) influenced positively skin hue and chroma of red porgy on both pectoral and caudal areas, improving the skin color in commercial sized red porgy and achieving hue and chroma values close to those previously reported for wild individuals. The results reported here provide evidence Abbreviations: Ctrl, diet not supplemented with astaxanthin; A 50 , diet supplemented with 50mg/kg of astaxanthin; A 80 , diet supplemented with 80 mg/kg of astaxanthin; A 50 A 80 , diet supplemented with 50 mg/kg of astaxanthin for three months followed with 80 mg/kg of astaxanthin for the three next months;

Exploring the Valuable Carotenoids for the Large-Scale Production by Marine Microorganisms

et al. 2018

Carotenoids are among the most abundant natural pigments available in nature. These pigments have received considerable attention because of their biotechnological applications and, more importantly, due to their potential beneficial uses in human healthcare, food processing, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. These bioactive compounds are in high demand throughout the world; Europe and the USA are the markets where the demand for carotenoids is the highest. The in vitro synthesis of carotenoids has sustained their large-scale production so far. However, the emerging modern standards for a healthy lifestyle and environment-friendly practices have given rise to a search for natural biocompounds as alternatives to synthetic ones. Therefore, nowadays, biomass (vegetables, fruits, yeast and microorganisms) is being used to obtain naturally-available carotenoids with high antioxidant capacity and strong color, on a large scale. This is an alternative to the in vitro synthesis of carotenoids, which is expensive and generates a large number of residues, and the compounds synthesized are sometimes not active biologically. In this context, marine biomass has recently emerged as a natural source for both common and uncommon valuable carotenoids. Besides, the cultivation of marine microorganisms, as well as the downstream processes, which are used to isolate the carotenoids from these microorganisms, offer several advantages over the other approaches that have been explored previously. This review summarizes the general properties of the most-abundant carotenoids produced by marine microorganisms, focusing on the genuine/rare carotenoids that exhibit interesting features useful for potential applications in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and medicine.
