Valorization of fruit and vegetables agro-wastes for the sustainable production of carotenoid-based colorants with enhanced bioavailability

Lucia Cassani et al.

Summary: Carotenoids, natural pigments with bioactive properties, provide interesting alternatives to artificial colorants in the food industry. Green production of carotenoid-based colorants from agro-wastes is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Nanotechnological protection strategies are effective in preventing degradation of carotenoids and maintaining their bioactive properties, with significant impacts on bioaccessibility and bioavailability. Carotenoids also show promise in therapeutic and cosmeceutical applications due to their health-related properties.

Bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of β-carotene loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) from binary mixtures of palm stearin and palm olein

Miftakhur Rohmah et al.

Summary: Beta-carotene is an essential nutrient with antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties; however, its absorption level in the digestive tract is low due to its high hydrophobicity. This study evaluated the use of nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance the bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of beta-carotene. The results suggested that the formulated nanostructured lipid carrier system can effectively deliver lipophilic bioactives like beta-carotene in beverage products.

Encapsulation techniques perfect the antioxidant action of carotenoids: A systematic review of how this effect is promoted

Jaluza Luana Carvalho de Queiroz et al.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to gather evidence on the effect of encapsulation techniques on the maintenance and/or enhancement of the antioxidant activity of carotenoids. The results showed that encapsulation can preserve and/or enhance the bioactivities of carotenoids through mechanisms such as the emergence of new chemical interactions, increased surface area, and controlled release.
