| Popis: | Fucoxanthin is the major abundant xanthophyll in macro- and micro-algae as a component of photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes for photosynthesis and photoprotection. Nowadays, widespread application of fucoxanthin in food industry, pharmaceutical, and medical purposes are increasing. The current issue attracts the attention of researchers for producing of carotenoid from its natural resources, especially algae. Againts macroalgae, microalgae have rapid growth with the same source of food. In addition, they can grow from variety of situations and environmental conditions to produce a specific biochemical product. Microalgae, e.g. Tisochrysis lutea (T. lutea), can be cultivated under controlled conditions, low cost, and higher concentration of fucoxanthin. This review presents some of nutraceutical effects of fucoxanthin for human health and then, in particular, recent biotechnological developments in bioprocessing of this valuable product including, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, and purification, from T. lutea. |
