“…RSCs are responsible for the biogenesis of naphthoquinone compounds derived from spinochrome dimers/echinochrome and for the regulation of their bioactivity function ( Hira et al., 2020 ). Sea urchin is also a violent seaweed grazer, specifically green and brown algae, and is therefore expected to bio-accumulate some of the antioxidant compounds ( Amarowicz et al., 2012 ; Kuwahara et al., 2010 ; Mamelona et al., 2011 ; Vadas Sr et al, 2000 ). The results of the DPPH• scavenging assay of summer monitored seaweeds (such as Padina pavonica , Colpomenia sinuosa , Cystoseira myrica, U. lactuca, U. linza, U. intestinalis Acanthophora muscoides , Chondrophycus papillosus, Sargassum swartzii, and S. angustifolium ) from the coastal waters of the Qeshm island, showed an antioxidant potential (IC 50 62–288 μg/ml; total phenol content (TPC, 27–36 mg GA/g DW; total flavonoid content (TFC,1.2–3.8) and obvious iron-chelating ability) ( Soleimani et al., 2018 ; Zarei Jeliani et al., 2018 ; Kokabi et al., 2013 ; Sadati et al., 2011 ), and providing valuable minds for the expansion of sea urchin medicinal antioxidants.…”

“…Sea urchins are of great importance as sources of roe, the yield of which ranges from 6.0% to 20.0%, depending on their biological state [2]. Sea urchin roe has high food and biological value, and is rich in various biologically active substances [2][3][4], which display antioxidant effects [5,6], and antitumor [7,8], anti-inflammatory [9], geroprotective [10], antimicrobial [11] and other medicinal properties [12,13]. Due to this, a number of dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals recommended for the prevention and treatment of various pathological conditions of the human body have been developed on the basis of sea urchin roe [10,14,15].…”

Nutritional Value of Sea Urchin Roe (Strongylocentrotidae)—Study of Composition and Storage Conditions

et al. 2021

Although the roe of sea urchins inhabiting the Far Eastern seas possesses many healing properties and may be used as a dietary product, a reduction and deterioration in its nutritional quality during storage occurs. Therefore, in order to make sea urchin products widely accessible to the world population, it is very important to have appropriate technology to keep the roe from spoiling. To store sea urchin roe for a long time, methods of pre-processing sea urchin gonads before freezing were tested. In terms of preserving organoleptic properties and nutritional quality, the most adequate procedure consists of a short period (20 or 30 s) of heat (boiling water) treatment of sea urchin roe after removal from the shell. This procedure results in an inactivation of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic processes of lipids and proteins during storage. After blanching and cooling, the roe was packed, frozen and kept at a temperature of −18 °C and −25 °C. The quality of sea urchin roe did not change during storage at the temperature of −18 °C for 6 months, and at the temperature of −25 °C for 10 months.

Food Modulation Controls Astaxanthin Accumulation in Eggs of the Sea Urchin Arbacia lixula

et al. 2018

The carotenoid astaxanthin has strong antioxidant properties with beneficial effects for various degenerative diseases. This carotenoid is produced by some microalgae species when cultivated in particular conditions, and, interestingly, it is a predominant carotenoid in aquatic animals throughout a broad range of taxa. Recently, astaxanthin was detected in the eggs of the sea urchin Arbacia lixula in relevant concentrations when this organism was maintained in culture. These results have paved the way for deeper research into astaxanthin production by this species, particularly in regards to how astaxanthin production can be modulated by diet. Results showed that the highest content of astaxanthin in eggs was observed in sea urchins fed on a diet enriched with Spirulina platensis. This result was confirmed by the high antioxidant activity recorded in the egg extracts of these animals. Our results suggest that (i) the sea urchin A. lixula is able to synthesize astaxanthin from precursors obtained from food, and (ii) it is possible to modulate the astaxanthin accumulation in sea urchin eggs by modifying the proportions of different food ingredients provided in their diet. This study demonstrates the large potential of sea urchin cultivation for the eco-sustainable production of healthy supplements for nutraceutical applications.
