Abstract
The development of integrated co-production of multiple high-purity carotenoids from microalgal cells holds considerable significance for the valorization of microalgae. In this study, the economical microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica was identified as an accumulator of violaxanthin cycle carotenoids, including violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, and zeaxanthin. Notably, a novel and competent approach for the integrated co-production of violaxanthin cycle carotenoids was explored, encompassing four steps: microalgal cultivation, solvent extraction, octadecylsilyl open-column chromatography, and ethanol precipitation. Under optimal co-production conditions, the purities of the obtained violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, and zeaxanthin all exceeded 92%, with total recovery rates of approximately 51%, 40%, and 60%, respectively. Utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, the purified violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, and zeaxanthin were identified as all-trans-violaxanthin, all-trans-antheraxanthin, and all-trans-zeaxanthin, respectively. This method held significance for the multiproduct biorefinery of the microalga N. oceanica and carried potential future implications for the violaxanthin cycle carotenoids.

Abstract
The food industry has increasingly added nutrients and other ingredients to products to enhance their health benefits. Fucoxanthin is recognized for its benefits in mitigating obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and inflammation. Therefore, addition of fucoxanthin into goat milk yogurt, its stability, and the physicochemical properties of yogurt during processing and storage was investigated. Yogurts with and without fucoxanthin were manufactured by mixing goat whole milk (82.85%, w/w), powdered goat milk (10.68%, w/w), and sugar (6.47%, w/w). Fucoxanthin (0.052 mg/g of yogurt mix) was added to the treatment. The mix was heated at 80 °C for 30 min, cooled, inoculated with a culture, and incubated at 43 °C for 5 h. Fucoxanthin in the yogurt mix and yogurt was quantified by an HPLC method. The recoveries of fucoxanthin from the mix before and after heating were 98.25% and 98.83%, respectively. However, less fucoxanthin (90.13%) was recovered from the freshly prepared yogurt than from the mix. Heating the yogurt mix did not affect the concentration of fucoxanthin but adding the inoculum to the mix reduced its concentration during fermentation. During the storage period, the concentration of fucoxanthin in yogurt remained the same. Fucoxanthin did not adversely affect the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of yogurt, but it influenced the color, decreasing lightness (81.47 ± 0.09), and increasing redness (7.67 ± 0.09) and yellowness (38.24 ± 0.09). Thus, goat milk yogurt can be an effective food matrix to deliver fucoxanthin to human diet.

Abstract
This study aims to prepare fish gelatin nanofibers extracted from fish waste by using electrospinning method and its encapsulation with fucoxanthin extracted from macroalgae Sargassum angustifolium. Four concentrations of gelatin and two concentrations of fucoxanthin were used under different voltage for preparing the nanofibers. The optimal conditions for producing the nanofibers were considered as 30%, 10 cm, 12 kV, and 5% for fish gelatin concentration, distance, voltage, and fucoxanthin, respectively. The average thickness of nanofibers was estimated 198 ± 0.073 nm. The FTIR results confirmed the presence of functional groups between fucoxanthin and gelatin. The loading efficiency of fucoxanthin in nanofibers and the free radical scavenging of DPPH were calculated 91% and 62%, respectively. Further, these nanofibers showed the antibacterial properties against bacteria. Based on the results, the fish gelatin nanofibers containing fucoxanthin can be proposed as a suitable coating for using in the food packaging industry.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (FX) extracted from Undaria pinnatifida by an ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) procedure was successfully added to the fermented yogurt through a stably nanoencapsulation. The physicochemical characteristics, texture analysis, rheological testing, sensory evaluation, simulated digestion analysis, and 16SrDNA sequencing analysis were used to evaluate the effect of encapsulated-FX on the function, structure and stability of the fermented yogurt during 7 days cold storage. Encapsulated-FX with a highly water dispersion, changed the microstructure of yogurt, making it more uniform and denser, enhanced the antioxidant activity, increased the stability of milk protein in simulated gastric environment in vitro and promoted the absorption of protein small molecule fragments in the intestine, and inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria during cold storage. This study provided a simple strategy for the production of FX-fortified yogurt by using an effective nanoencapsulation technology, and promoted the extraction and application of active ingredients of edible brown algae.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (Fx) possesses multiple bioactivities such as antitumor, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, but its application is limited due to the poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and instability to some external harsh conditions. In this study, a stable inclusion complex of Fx and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD) was prepared with the aid of ultrasound, which was characterized by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The phase solubility analysis and absorption spectroscopy results showed that Fx formed stoichiometry 1:2 inclusion complex with 2-HP-β-CD, and this could be well proved by molecular simulation. Structural analyses and molecular docking study indicated that Fx was successfully encapsulated into the cavity of 2-HP-β-CD, promoting it soluble in water and stable against heat, storage and gastrointestinal environments. In addition, Fx/2-HP-β-CD inclusion complex exhibited excellent antitumor activity against HCT116 and Caco-2 cell lines with IC50 values of 12.0 μΜ and 14.86 μΜ, respectively. Therefore, it could be a potentially promising way to promote the application of Fx in pharmaceuticals and functional foods by HP-β-CD encapsulation strategy.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin is one of the light-harvesting pigments in brown microalgae, which is increasingly gaining attention due to its numerous health-promoting properties. Currently, the production of microalgal fucoxanthin is not yet feasible from an economic perspective. However, the cultivation of microalgae at favourable conditions holds great potential to increase the viability of this fucoxanthin source. Hence, this study aimed to review the fucoxanthin production of microalgae under different conditions systematically. A literature search was performed using the Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases. A total of 188 articles were downloaded and 28 articles were selected for the current review by two independent authors. Microalgae appeared to be a more reliable fucoxanthin source compared to macroalgae. Overall, a consensus fucoxanthin production condition was obtained and proposed: light intensity ranging from 10 to 100 µmol/m2/s could achieve a higher fucoxanthin content. However, the optimal light condition in producing fucoxanthin is species-specific. The current review serves as an antecedent by offering insights into the fucoxanthin-producing microalgae response to different culture factors via a systematic analysis. With the current findings and recommendations, the feasibility of producing fucoxanthin commercially could be enhanced and possibly achieve practical and sustainable fucoxanthin production.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (Fx) is a critical pigment required for photosynthesis in brown algae and microalgae. Fx is also a dietary marine carotenoid that with potent anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. Some popular light meals for increased satiety, such as biscuits, cereals, and crackers, are frequently fortified with micronutrients for human health benefits. However, data on the anticancer potential of Fx-supplemented light meals in humans and animal models remain limited. In the present study, we investigated the anticancer effects of a Fx-supplemented biscuit using a carcinogenic murine azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS) model. We observed that periodic administration of biscuits containing 0.3% Fx (Fx-biscuit) at an interval of 3 days (each 15 h) per week for 15 weeks significantly inhibited colorectal carcinogenesis in AOM/DSS mice. Comprehensive gene analysis demonstrated that the Fx-biscuit significantly altered the expression of 138 genes in the colorectal mucosal tissue of the mice. In particular, the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) genes, Hspa1b (-35.7-fold) and Hspa1a (-34.9-fold), was markedly downregulated. HSP70 is a polyfunctional chaperone protein that is involved in cancer development. Compared to the control-biscuit group, the number of cells with markedly high fluorescence for HSP70 protein (HSP70high) in colorectal mucosal crypts and adenocarcinomas significantly reduced by 0.3- and 0.2-fold, respectively, in the Fx-biscuit group. Our results suggested that Fx-biscuit possesses chemopreventive potential in the colorectal cancer of AOM/DSS mice via the downregulation of HSP70.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin attracts increasing attentions due to its potential health benefits, which has been exploited in several food commodities. However, fucoxanthin available for industrial application is mainly derived from macroalgae, and is not yet sufficiently cost-effective compared with microalgae. This review focuses on the strategies to improve fucoxanthin productivity and approaches to reduce downstream costs in microalgal production. Here we comprehensively and critically discuss ways and methods to increase the cell growth rate and fucoxanthin content of marine microalgae, including strain screening, condition optimization, design of culture mode, metabolic and genetic engineering, and scale-up production of fucoxanthin. The approaches in downstream processes provide promising alternatives for fucoxanthin production from marine microalgae. Besides, this review summarizes fucoxanthin improvements in solubility and bioavailability by delivery system of emulsion, nanoparticle, and hydrogel, and discusses fucoxanthin metabolism with gut microbes. Fucoxanthin production from marine microalgae possesses numerous advantages in environmental sustainability and final profits to meet incremental global market demands of fucoxanthin. Strategies of adaptive evolution, multi-stage cultivation, and bioreactor improvements have tremendous potentials to improve economic viability of the production. Moreover, fucoxanthin is promising as the microbiota-targeted ingredient, and nanoparticles can protect fucoxanthin from external environmental factors for improving the solubility and bioavailability.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin is a major carotenoid in brown macroalgae and diatoms that possesses a broad spectrum of health benefits. This review evaluated the research trends of the fucoxanthin field from 1928 to June 2021 using the bibliometric method. The present findings unraveled that the fucoxanthin field has grown quickly in recent years with a total of 2080 publications. Japan was the most active country in producing fucoxanthin publications. Three Japan institutes were listed in the top ten productive institutions, with Hokkaido University being the most prominent institutional contributor in publishing fucoxanthin articles. The most relevant subject area on fucoxanthin was the agricultural and biological sciences category, while most fucoxanthin articles were published in Marine Drugs. A total of four research concepts emerged based on the bibliometric keywords analysis: “bioactivities”, “photosynthesis”, “optimization of process’’, and “environment”. The “bioactivities” of fucoxanthin was identified as the priority in future research. The current analysis highlighted the importance of collaboration and suggested that global collaboration could be the key to valorizing and efficiently boosting the consumer acceptability of fucoxanthin. The present bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into the research trends of fucoxanthin to construct a better future development of this treasurable carotenoid.

Abstract
Obesity has become a worldwide problem giving rise to several health issues. Fucoxanthin, a marine carotenoid with anti-obesity activity, has potential application as a biofunctional ingredient in human food. The objective of this study was to evaluate the thermal stability of fucoxanthin at pasteurization temperature and, subsequently, its storage stability in goat whole milk (WM) and skim milk (SM) at refrigeration temperature for four weeks. Additionally, the effect of supplementation of fucoxanthin on the composition of milk, pH, acidity, color, and lipid oxidation of WM and SM was evaluated during the four week storage period. Fresh goat WM and SM were supplemented with fucoxanthin at a concentration of 10.67 µg/mL (2.56 mg/240 mL of milk, one serving), pasteurized at 64 °C for 30 min and stored at 4 °C for four weeks. The quantification of fucoxanthin in WM and SM was performed every week using a HPLC method. Moreover, the effect of supplementation of fucoxanthin on the composition of WM and SM was evaluated by a LactiCheck milk analyzer, and the color was evaluated by reflectance using a HunterLab colorimeter. Lipid oxidation, as the 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) at A532, was determined using a Spectramax Plus spectrophotometer during storage. Data were analyzed by a split-plot design using PROC MIXED of SAS. The recovery yields of fucoxanthin from the pasteurized WM and SM were 96.17 ± 1.5 % and 96.89 ± 1.5 %, respectively. Both milks exhibited high recovery yields of fucoxanthin. Fucoxanthin was stable in goat WM and SM during storage at 4 °C for four weeks. The addition of fucoxanthin, at the concentration reported to have an anti-obesity effect in humans, to pasteurized WM and SM did not affect the composition or the physicochemical properties of milks but influenced the color, especially increasing the yellowness in the samples. These results revealed that goat milk can be used as a suitable matrix for the supplementation of fucoxanthin as a biofunctional ingredient in human foods.

Abstract
As an abundant marine xanthophyll, fucoxanthin (FX) exhibits a broad range of biological activities. The preparation of high-purity FX is in great demand, however, most of the available methods require organic solvents which cannot meet the green chemistry standard. In the present study, a simple and efficient purification approach for the purification of FX from the brown seaweed Sargassum horneri was carried out. The FX-rich ethanol extract was isolated by octadecylsilyl (ODS) column chromatography using ethanol-water solvent as a gradient eluent. The overwhelming majority of FX was successfully eluted by the ethanol-water mixture (9:1, v/v), with a recovery rate of 95.36%. A parametric study was performed to optimize the aqueous ethanol precipitation process by investigating the effects on the purity and recovery of FX. Under the optimal conditions, the purity of FX was 91.07%, and the recovery rate was 74.98%. Collectively, the eco-friendly method was cost-efficient for the purification of FX. The developed method provides a potential approach for the large-scale production of fucoxanthin from the brown seaweed Sargassum horneri.

Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer (CRC) is suggested to be preventable by certain food intakes. Fucoxanthin (Fx) is an anticancer agent contained abundantly in edible brown algae. However, epidemiological studies, in vivo and in vitro experiments for CRC, using Fx and Fx-rich foods, have not been fully outlined. To date, it has been reported that Fx, its metabolite of fucoxanthinol (FxOH) and Fx-rich algal extracts exerted anticancer potentials in human CRC cell lines, their cancer stem-cells-like spheroids and CRC animal models through a number of molecular mechanisms. Moreover, many in vivo experiments and interventional human trials have demonstrated that Fx, Fx-rich algal extracts and brown alga itself may improve CRC and/or certain risks, such as obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, oxidation, tumor microenvironment and/or gut microbiota. This review is the first report that summarizes the improving effects by Fx, FxOH and its rich brown algae for CRC and the risk factors. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC), which ranks among the top 10 most prevalent cancers, can obtain a good outcome with appropriate surgery and/or chemotherapy. However, the global numbers of both new cancer cases and death from CRC are expected to increase up to 2030. Diet-induced lifestyle modification is suggested to be effective in reducing the risk of human CRC; therefore, interventional studies using diets or diet-derived compounds have been conducted to explore the prevention of CRC. Fucoxanthin (Fx), a dietary carotenoid, is predominantly contained in edible brown algae, such as Undaria pinnatifida (wakame) and Himanthalia elongata (Sea spaghetti), which are consumed particularly frequently in Asian countries but also in some Western countries. Fx is responsible for a majority of the anticancer effects exerted by the lipophilic bioactive compounds in those algae. Interventional human trials have shown that Fx and brown algae mitigate certain risk factors for CRC; however, the direct mechanisms underlying the anti-CRC properties of Fx remain elusive. Fx and its deacetylated type “fucoxanthinol” (FxOH) have been reported to exert potential anticancer effects in preclinical cancer models through the suppression of many cancer-related signal pathways and the tumor microenvironment or alteration of the gut microbiota. We herein review the most recent studies on Fx as a potential candidate drug for CRC prevention.

Abstract
Algae are considered pigment-producing organisms. The function of these compounds in algae is to carry out photosynthesis. They have a great variety of pigments, which can be classified into three large groups: chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobilins. Within the carotenoids are xanthophylls. Xanthophylls (fucoxanthin, astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-cryptoxanthin) are a type of carotenoids with anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activities, due to their chemical structure rich in double bonds that provides them with antioxidant properties. In this context, xanthophylls can protect other molecules from oxidative stress by turning off singlet oxygen damage through various mechanisms. Based on clinical studies, this review shows the available information concerning the bioactivity and biological effects of the main xanthophylls present in algae. In addition, the algae with the highest production rate of the different compounds of interest were studied. It was observed that fucoxanthin is obtained mainly from the brown seaweeds Laminaria japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, Hizikia fusiformis, Sargassum spp., and Fucus spp. The main sources of astaxanthin are the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, Chlorella zofingiensis, and Chlorococcum sp. Lutein and zeaxanthin are mainly found in algal species such as Scenedesmus spp., Chlorella spp., Rhodophyta spp., or Spirulina spp. However, the extraction and purification processes of xanthophylls from algae need to be standardized to facilitate their commercialization. Finally, we assessed factors that determine the bioavailability and bioaccesibility of these molecules. We also suggested techniques that increase xanthophyll’s bioavailability.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid abundant in marine brown algae. The potential therapeutic effects of fucoxanthin on tumor intervention have been well documented, which have aroused great interests in utilizing fucoxanthin in functional foods and nutraceuticals. However, the utilization of fucoxanthin as a nutraceutical in food and nutrient supplements is currently limited due to its low water solubility, poor stability, and limited bioaccessibility. Nano/micro-encapsulation is a technology that can overcome these challenges. A systematic review on the recent progresses in nano/micro-delivery systems to encapsulate fucoxanthin in foods or nutraceuticals is warranted. This article starts with a brief introduction of fucoxanthin and the challenges of oral delivery of fucoxanthin. Nano/micro-encapsulation technology is then covered, including materials and strategies for constructing the delivery system. Finally, future prospective has been discussed on properly designed oral delivery systems of fucoxanthin for managing cancer. Natural edible materials such as whey protein, casein, zein, gelatin, and starch have been successfully utilized to fabricate lipid-based, gel-based, or emulsion-based delivery systems, molecular nanocomplexes, and biopolymer nanoparticles with the aid of advanced processing techniques, such as freeze-drying, high pressure homogenization, sonication, anti-solvent precipitation, coacervation, ion crosslinking, ionic gelation, emulsification, and enzymatic conjugation. These formulated nano/micro-capsules have proven to be effective in stabilizing and enhancing the bioaccessibility of fucoxanthin. This review will inspire a surge of multidisciplinary research in a broader community of foods and motivate material scientists and researchers to focus on nano/micro-encapsulated fucoxanthin in order to facilitate the commercialization of orally-deliverable tumor intervention products.

Abstract
The scientific community has corroborated the numerous beneficial activities of fucoxanthin, such as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer or neuroprotective effects, among others. These properties have attracted the attention of nutraceutical, cosmetic and pharmacological industries, giving rise to various possible applications. Fucoxanthin may be chemically produced, but the extraction from natural sources is considered more cost-effective, efficient and eco-friendly. Thus, identifying suitable sources of this compound and giving a general overview of efficient extraction, quantification, purification and stabilization studies is of great importance for the future production and commercialization of fucoxanthin. The scientific research showed that most of the studies are performed using conventional techniques, but non-conventional techniques begin to gain popularity in the recovery of this compound. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and spectroscopy techniques have been employed in the quantification and identification of fucoxanthin. The further purification of extracts has been mainly accomplished using purification columns. Finally, the stability of fucoxanthin has been assessed as a free molecule, in an emulsion, or encapsulated to identify the variables that might affect its further industrial application.

Abstract
This study aims to assess the effect of gum Arabic (GA), maltodextrin (MD), or their combination as a coating agent at different ratios (1/3, 1/5, and 1/7 w/w) to encapsulate fucoxanthin. For this purpose, fucoxanthin was initially extracted and purified from Sargassum angustifolium brown seaweed and then loaded into porous starch (PS). The fucoxanthin-loaded PS samples were further contributed in another encapsulation process using the coating materials. All samples were evaluated in terms of encapsulation efficiency, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and stability under light, dark and low or high temperature (4 and 50°C) exposure over a certain time period. Purification of fucoxanthin was verified through HPLC and NMR spectroscopy. It was shown that the subsequent coating with MD + GA (1/7 w/w) caused an enhanced encapsulation of fucoxanthin-loaded PS, reaching to about 96%. In addition, the stability of fucoxanthin-loaded PS was greatly influenced by light and high temperature exposure and decreased from 85% to 58% using the GA-coated material (1/3 w/w). First-order kinetic model was found to be fitted well on thermal degradation data of fucoxanthin. Interestingly, the mixture of MD + GA (1/7 w/w) exhibited the highest fucoxanthin prevention at the end of the storage period. Conclusively, the findings of this study can provide simple and facile protocol for food chemists in protecting the food ingredients using encapsulation process.

Abstract
The effect of natural emulsifiers (whey protein isolate, WPI; modified lecithin, ML; and gum arabic, GA) on the formulation, stability, and bioaccessibility of fucoxanthin-loaded oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions was determined in this study. The fine emulsions were prepared under high-pressure homogenization at 100 MPa for 4 passes, using 2 wt % WPI, ML, and GA, resulting in emulsions with the droplet sizes of 136, 140, and 897 nm, respectively. The chemical stability of fucoxanthin in the emulsions after long-term storage at ambient temperature decreased in the following order: WPI > GA > ML. The release of free fatty acids of fucoxanthin, studied by in vitro digestion, decreased in the following order: WPI > ML > GA > bulk oil. The bioaccessibility of fucoxanthin in emulsions stabilized by WPI, ML, and GA after in vitro digestion were 92.5 ± 6.8%, 44.6 ± 0.4, and 36.8 ± 2.5, respectively. These results indicate that natural emulsifier type and concentration used significantly affects the formulation, stability, lipid digestion, and fucoxanthin bioaccessibility, which may be ascribed to the different properties of each emulsifier. The bioaccessibility of fucoxanthin was improved by using emulsion-based delivery systems.

Abstract
To facilitate the utilization of fucoxanthin (FX), a valuable marine carotenoid, in the food industry, FX-loaded casein nanoparticles (FX-CN) and chitosan-coated FX-CN (FX-CS-CN) were developed using the FX-enriched fraction from Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Two nanoscale particles (237 ± 13 nm for FX-CN and 277 ± 26 nm for FX-CN-CN) with spherical and smooth surfaces showed over 71% encapsulation efficiency and polydispersity index (PDI) value of 0.31-0.39 in water. Owing to the chitosan coating, FX-CS-CN showed a positive zeta potential (24.00 mV), whereas that of FX-CN was negative (-12.87 mV). In vitro simulated digestion demonstrated better FX bioaccessibility from the nanoparticles versus P. tricornutum powder (Pt-powder) and from FX-CN versus FX-CS-CN. However, in C57BL/6 mice, fucoxanthinol absorption to the blood circulation was two times higher for FX-CS-CN versus FX-CN, possibly due to increased retention or adsorption to mucin by the cationic biopolymer in the chitosan-coated particles. These results demonstrate that FX-CS-CN can enable the application of FX, with improved bioavailability and water dispersibility, in the food industry.
