Carotenoids have a polyene chain and long conjugated double bonds. The structure of these compounds is responsible for antioxidant activity, such as the hardening of singlet oxygen and the removal of radicals to complete the chain reactions. The structure of astaxanthin consists of a conjugated polyene chain in the center and hydroxyl and ketone moieties on [...]
The maturation of Haematococcus Pluvialis cells and the passage through successive stages of life cycles result in an altered biochemical profile of the cell. Most Haematococcus Pluvialis green stage cells are characterized by high protein content of 29%–45% per dry weight (d.w.). Protein content in palmella decreases to 36% d.w., while in the red stage cells, this content is [...]
Sea buckthorn has hypoglycemic potential; we conducted a test to determine its effects on glucose in people with impaired glucose regulation (IGR). A total of 38 subjects with IGR completed the intervention of consuming sea buckthorn fruit puree (90 mL/day, five weeks), washing out (four weeks), and then consuming placebo (90 mL/day, five weeks). Our results [...]

We carried out a study to evaluate the skin penetration of natural oils and their potential application as skin penetration enhancers for dihydroquercetin (DHQ) delivery. We found that applying olive oil, avocado oil, soybean oil, sea buckthorn oil, coconut oil, and soybean oils increases the content of fatty acids (FAs) in the ex vivo skin layers. [...]
