Functional properties of carotenoids originating from algae
Abstract
Carotenoids are isoprenoid molecules which are synthesised de novo by photosynthetic plants, fungi and algae and are responsible for the orange, yellow and some red colours of various fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are lipophilic compounds, some of which act as provitamins A. These compounds can be divided into xanthophylls and carotenes. Many macroalgae and microalgae are rich in carotenoids, where these compounds aid in the absorption of sunlight. Industrially, these carotenoids are used as food pigments (in dairy products, beverages, etc.), as feed additives, in cosmetics and in pharmaceuticals, especially nowadays when there is an increasing demand by consumers for natural products. Production of carotenoids from algae has many advantages compared to other sources; for example, their production is cheap, easy and environmentally friendly; their extraction is easier, with higher yields, and there is no lack of raw materials or limited seasonal variation. Recently, there has been considerable interest in dietary carotenoids with respect to their antioxidant properties and their ability to reduce the incidence of some chronic diseases where free radicals are involved. Possibly, carotenoids protect cells from oxidative stress by quenching singlet oxygen damage with various mechanisms. Therefore, carotenoids derived from algae could be a leading natural resource in the research for potential functional ingredients.

Spirulina has medicinal properties like antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, immune-enhancing, and colourants.
“These substances exhibited potential medicinal properties like antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, immune-enhancing, and colourants (18–20) in addition to their metalloprotective, radioprotective, and hypocholesterolemic effects (4, 10).”
From Potential of Spirulina platensis as a feed supplement for poultry to enhance growth performance and immune modulation (2023) · cites this paper as [18]
Carotenoids are natural antioxidants applied in food products; the most abundant carotenoid of marine macroalgae is fucoxanthin, which possesses antiproliferative activity; carotenoids also possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antihypertensive activity.
“Carotenoids are natural antioxidants and they are applied in different food products [18]. The most abundant carotenoid of marine macroalgae is fucoxanthin (Figure 4) and it possess antiproliferative activity [19,20]. Except for antiproliferative properties, carotenoids also possess antioxidant [21], antimicrobial, and antihypertensive activity [22].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
