Raw Fucoxanthin is an important fat-soluble functional compound, which exists in various algae, marine phytoplankton, aquatic shellfish and other animals and plants. It cannot be synthesized in the human body and can only be ingested through diet. A large number of studies have shown that eating foods rich in fucoxanthin Powder is beneficial to the human body, including anti-oxidation, weight loss, anti-tumor, and eye protection. In recent years, with regard to the application of fucoxanthin Extract in the food industry, most of them focus on its use as a food colorant and active ingredient additive to improve food color and endow food with certain functional properties.
1.Improve food color
Fucoxanthin Powder itself is a natural pigment that can make food orange. It is a food coloring agent commonly used by humans and has a wide range of applications in the food field. In recent years, fucoxanthin is often used in the processing of baked foods such as butter, pies, and green tea cakes to improve the color of foods. Scientists have found that Raw fucoxanthin can effectively inhibit the lipid peroxidation reaction of chicken breast meat in cooling storage after cooking, and give chicken red and yellow while preventing the color change of chicken. Fucoxanthin can also be used as an egg yolk colorant and added to poultry feed to improve the color of egg products. In addition, in order to reduce the risk of nitrosamine formation during cured meat, natural pigments such as fucoxanthin are usually added to cured meat products to reduce the addition of nitrite.
2.Prevent food from oxidative deterioration
It is well known that the oxidation of fatty acids and lipids dominated by free radicals is the main cause of food deterioration; the oxidation of lipids by active oxygen such as superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals shortens the shelf life of foods, which has attracted widespread attention in the food industry. Fucoxanthin can be added to food as a natural antioxidant to reduce the probability of lipid peroxidation during food processing and storage. Studies have found that adding fucoxanthin during chicken processing can effectively inhibit lipid peroxidation in processed chicken during refrigeration. The study found that fucoxanthin can also inhibit the lipid oxidation of chicken sausage during storage, effectively preventing the formation of thiobarbituric acid.
3.Develop weight loss products
The most prominent physiological activity of fucoxanthin is the anti-obesity activity, so among the developed products, most of them are slimming products.
In addition, weight loss products compounded with fucoxanthin and other functional ingredients are also popular in the market. A product compounded with fucoxanthin and pomegranate seed extract has been proven to have lipid-lowering effects. In addition to food, fucoxanthin has also been made into hydrogel patches for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
4.Make Low GI Foods
As a kind of carotene, fucoxanthin has potential anti-diabetic activity like other carotenoids, which can effectively inhibit the rise of blood sugar, and it is used in the research and development of low glycemic index (GI) foods. condition. Although the incidence of diabetes is increasing year by year, there are still reports on the application of fucoxanthin and other carotenoids in low GI foods. So far, there is no way to completely cure diabetes, and it can only be controlled. The use of fucoxanthin to develop low-GI foods suitable for diabetics is still a hot issue in the application of fucoxanthin in food research.
5.Development of other products
Fucoxanthin has unique functional properties and is often used in the research and development of functional foods. In the processing of fish oil products, fucoxanthin is often wrapped in it to make fucoxanthin fish oil soft capsules with eye protection effect.
