A Method of Solubilizing and Concentrating Astaxanthin and Other Carotenoids
The valuable marine carotenoid, astaxanthin, is used in supplements, medicines and cosmetics. In this study, crustacyanin, an astaxanthin-binding protein, was used to solubilize and concentrate astaxanthin. The recombinant crustacyanin of European lobster spontaneously formed an inclusion body when...
