  • Choosing the Best Marine-Derived Omega-3 Products for Therapeutic Use: an Evaluation of the Evidence
    STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN Technical Report Choosing the Best Marine-derived Omega-3 Products for Therapeutic Use: An Evaluation of the Evidence October 2013 The Point Institute is an independent research organization focused on examining and disseminating information about the use of natural therapeutic options for treating and preventing chronic disease. We provide these technical reports as research summaries only-they are not intended to be used in place of sound medical advice by a licensed health care practitioner. The Point Institute Director: Thomas Guilliams Ph.D. Website: www.pointinstitute.org Email: [email protected] The Point Institute www.pointinstitute.org Choosing the Best Marine-derived Omega-3 Products for Therapeutic Use: An Evaluation of the Evidence There is overwhelming data to recommend a wide range of therapeutic uses for marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids (primarily EPA and DHA). Likewise, there are also an overwhelming number of different forms, sources and ways to deliver these omega-3 fatty acids; which unfortunately, has led to confusion in product selection for both clinician and patient alike. We will walk through the most common issues discussed in selecting the appropriate omega-3 fatty acid product, with the goal to bring clarity to the decision-making process. For the most part, the marine omega-3 fatty acid category is dominated by products that can be best described as “fish oil.” That is, while there are products available that deliver omega-3 fatty acids from other marine sources, nearly all the available research has been done with fish oil derived fatty acids. This fish oil data has become the benchmark for efficacy and safety, and is the standard to which we compare throughout this paper.

  • Krill Oil and Astaxanthin
    Krill Oil and Astaxanthin Krill are small reddish-color crustaceans, similar to shrimp, that abound in cold Arctic waters. They survive in such cold, frigid temperatures because of their natural anti- freeze, the polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA are bound to molecules called phospholipids (especially phosphatidyl choline) that act to help transport nutrients into cells and change the structure of animal cell membranes. Studies show that these combined fatty acids have better absorption into the cell membranes throughout the body, especially the brain, as compared to other types of fish oils. Although it has less EPA/DHA content than most fish oils, krill oil seems to be almost twice as absorbable. Unlike fish oil, krill oil also contains a very potent antioxidant, astaxanthin, which helps prevent krill oil from oxidizing (turning rancid). Astaxanthin is a red pigment found in different types of algae and phytoplankton. It is astaxanthin that gives salmon and trout their reddish color. It is considered to be one of the most potent natural antioxidants, almost 50 times stronger than beta-carotenes found in fruits and vegetables and 65 times better as an anti-oxidant than vitamin C. Krill oil is composed of 40% phospholipids, 30% EPA and DHA, astaxanthin, vitamin A, vitamin C, various other fatty acids, and flavanoids (anti-oxidant compounds) Human studies indicate krill oil is powerful at decreasing inflammation throughout the body, especially in the brain. It reduces C-reactive protein, a marker for heart disease. Tests indicate it has a powerful anti-inflammatory remedy for rheumatoid as well as osteoarthritis.

  • Identification of Distinct Ph- and Zeaxanthin-Dependent Quenching

In green algae, a chlorophyll and carotenoid-binding protein, light-harvesting complex stress-related (LHCSR3), detects excess energy via a pH drop and serves as a quenching site. Using a combined in vivo and in vitro approach, we investigated quenching within LHCSR3 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In vitro two distinct quenching processes, individually controlled by pH and zeaxanthin, were identified within LHCSR3. The pH-dependent quenching was removed within a mutant LHCSR3 that lacks the residues that are protonated to sense the pH drop. Observation of quenching in zeaxanthin-enriched LHCSR3 even at neutral pH demonstrated zeaxanthin-dependent quenching, which also occurs in other light-harvesting complexes. Either pH- or zeaxanthin-dependent quenching prevented the formation of damaging reactive oxygen species, and thus the two *For correspondence: quenching processes may together provide different induction and recovery kinetics for [email protected] (MB); photoprotection in a changing environment.

Natural Production Khoa Nguyen May 6, 2013 Abstract Astaxanthin, the “king of carotenoids” has been widely used as an animal feed additive for several decades, mainly in the aquaculture industry. Recent studies have led to its emergence as a potent antioxidant available for human consumption. Traditionally it has been chemically synthesized, but the recent market interest has generated interests in producing it naturally via yeast (Phaffia rhodozyma) fermentation, or algal (Haematococcus pluvialis) induction. This work aims to compare these production processes and their impact on the economical, environmental, and societal scale. We also look at the attempts of increasing production yields by altering various parameters during all three production processes.

  • Level of Xanthophyll, Lutein and Zeaxanthin in Selected Thai Fruits Determined by HPLC
    2012 International Conference on Nutrition and Food Sciences IPCBEE vol. 39 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore Level of Xanthophyll, Lutein and Zeaxanthin in Selected Thai Fruits Determined by HPLC Nittaya Khonsarn 1 and Siriporn Lawan 2 1Department of biotechnology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Thailand 2 Department of Food technology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Thailand Abstract. In this study 12 selected Thai summer fruits were determined xanthophyll, lutein and zeaxanthin content by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The result shown that there were xanthophyll in 11 kinds of selected fruits except banana. The highest of average xanthophyll level was found in cantaloupe (1.31±0.07 mg/100g edible portion), meanwhile barbados cherry was the second (1.18±0.03 mg/100g edible portion). Among fruits analysed, lutein content was the highest in papaya (23.74±0.46 mg/100g edible portion), follow by cantaloupe (21.82±1.60 mg/100g edible portion). Whereas lutein was not detected in star gooseberry, java apple, dragon fruit, guava, salak plum, water melon, banana and satol. Cantaloupe was the highest source of zeaxanthin (1.72±0.07 mg/100g edible portion), zeaxanthin was not however detected in star gooseberry, java apple, dragon fruit, salak plum, banana and satol. These results are suggested that some kinds of summer fruits including papaya and cantaloupe, have potential as rich sources of xanthophyll, lutein and zeaxanthin for consumer health. Keywords: Xanthophyll, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Thai Fruit, HPLC. 1. Introduction Xanthophyll, lutein and zeaxanthin are some kinds of carotenoid that not only play important role in organic pigments in fruits and vegetables but also important in the prevention of various diseases associated with oxidative stress.

  • Vitamins a and E and Carotenoids
    Fat-Soluble Vitamins & Micronutrients: Vitamins A and E and Carotenoids Vitamins A (retinol) and E (tocopherol) and the carotenoids are fat-soluble micronutrients that are found in many foods, including some vegetables, fruits, meats, and animal products. Fish-liver oils, liver, egg yolks, butter, and cream are known for their higher content of vitamin A. Nuts and seeds are particularly rich sources of vitamin E (Thomas 2006). At least 700 carotenoids—fat-soluble red and yellow pigments—are found in nature (Britton 2004). Americans consume 40–50 of these carotenoids, primarily in fruits and vegetables (Khachik 1992), and smaller amounts in poultry products, including egg yolks, and in seafoods (Boylston 2007). Six major carotenoids are found in human serum: alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, trans-lycopene, and zeaxanthin. Major carotene sources are orange-colored fruits and vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins, and mangos. Lutein and zeaxanthin are also found in dark green leafy vegetables, where any orange coloring is overshadowed by chlorophyll. Trans-Lycopene is obtained primarily from tomato and tomato products. For information on the carotenoid content of U.S. foods, see the 1998 carotenoid database created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Nutrition Coordinating Center at the University of Minnesota (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/car98/car98.html). Vitamin A, found in foods that come from animal sources, is called preformed vitamin A. Some carotenoids found in colorful fruits and vegetables are called provitamin A; they are metabolized in the body to vitamin A. Among the carotenoids, beta-carotene, a retinol dimer, has the most significant provitamin A activity.

Previously, we showed that the combined intake of astaxanthin, β-carotene, and resveratrol can accelerate protein anabolism in the skeletal muscle of mice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of anabolic nutrient-rich foods on muscle adaptation induced by resistance training. Twenty-six healthy men were divided into control and intervention groups. All participants underwent a resistance training program twice a week for 10 weeks. Astaxanthin-, β-carotene-, and resveratrol-rich foods were provided to the intervention group. Body composition, nutrient intake, maximal voluntary contraction of leg extension, oxygen consumption, and serum carbonylated protein level were measured before and after training. The skeletal muscle mass was higher after training than before training in both groups (p < 0.05). Maximal voluntary contraction was increased after training in the intervention group (p < 0.05), but not significantly increased in the control group.
