Kapitel i bok, 2021

Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family that is found in many types of seafood, algae, plants, and yeasts. Astaxanthin is well known for its antiinflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties. Therefore it has been used in different products including foods and supplements. However, astaxanthin is susceptible to degradation and can undergo chemical changes during food processing. This book chapter discusses the impact of different processing methods and techniques on the stability of astaxanthin in food products. Further, recent techniques that are utilized to enhance the stability of the astaxanthin have been reviewed.
