Abstract

This Dissertation / Report is the outcome of investigation carried out by the creator(s) / author(s) at the department/division of Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore mentioned below in this page.

Item Type:	Student Project Report
Additional Information:	Crustacean waste, such as those generated during processing of shrimps is an important source of natural carotenoids, particularly that of astaxanthin. In shrimps, the carotenoids are present as carotenoprotein complexes, where carotenoids are bound to proteins. Complexing of carotenoids to protein provides stability to carotenoids, which are otherwise are very unstable. The carotenoproteins from shrimp waste can be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis. Protein hydrolysates as well carotenoids are known to possess strong antioxidant activity. This study was carried out to evaluate the enzymatic hydrolysis of shrimp waste on the antioxidant activity of the recovered carotenoprotein and to study the influence of various hydrolysis parameters on the antioxidant activity of the carotenoprotein.
