Effect of nanoencapsulation on the solubility and antioxidant activity of astaxanthin pigmented oil extracted from shrimp waste (Litopeneaus vannamei).

Astaxanthin-pigmented oil from shrimp waste meal was nanoencapsulated by O/W emulsification using porcine gelatin (EAG) and a combination with soy protein (EAGS 2:2 and EAGS 3:1) to improve the solubility and antioxidant activity of the pigmented oil. The encapsulates presented spherical shape and s...
