摘要
虾青素(astaxanthin)是一种类胡萝卜素,具有很强的抗氧化活性,抗癌功能,显著的着色能力以及增强免疫力等功能。本文介绍了虾青素的生物活性及其在食品、化妆品、保健品、水产养殖和医药等领域的应用,并着重对虾青素的发酵法生产研究现状进行了综述,提出了虾青素未来的主要研究方向,以期为虾青素的研究开发和综合利用提供理论依据。
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that has very strong antioxidant activity, anticancer function, significant coloring capacity and immunoenhancing activity. The biological activities of astaxanthin and its applications in food, cosmetics, health products, aquaculture, medicine and other fields are summarized in this review, with focus on the current status of fermentative production of astaxanthin. Moreover, the future directions of astaxanthin research are proposed. It is expected that this review can provide a theoretical basis for in-depth exploration and comprehensive utilization of astaxanthin.
