Assessing the impact of temperature, <scp>pH</scp>, light and chemical oxidation on fucoxanthin colour changes, antioxidant activity and the resulting metabolites
In conclusion, fucoxanthin tolerates well at 60 °C, within pH range 3-9, and within 8 h of light exposure, as indicated by its consistent antioxidant activity and minimal colour change. Each treatment resulted in distinct metabolite concentrations, as shown by LC-MS/MS-based metabolomics analysis. Further research into these metabolites could advance the understanding of their roles and aid in optimising processing conditions to favour beneficial metabolites. © 2024 The Author(s).
