Abstract
Biotechnological research is currently focused on obtaining preparations based on natural pigments due to their properties and positive impact on human and animal health. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the biochemical composition and antioxidant activity of the preparation based on pigments obtained from the remaining biomass of Arthrospira platensis. The obtained results established that the preparation is characterized by a high content of β-carotene, lutein, chlorophyll pigments, and sulfated polysaccharides. Due to its composition, the preparation also possesses high antioxidant activity and the catalase and superoxide dismutase enzymes. These findings highlight the high biological value of the new preparation and the enormous potential for implementation in medicine, the animal husbandry sector, and the food and cosmetic industry.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Biological Research – Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale is one of the oldest journals in Biology. Founded in 1925 the journal is available in Medline until 2001 and Scopus since 2014. The Journal of Biological Research – Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale is an online-only peer-reviewed journal which welcomes papers dealing with any aspect of experimental biology. Papers concerning clinical topics can be accepted only if they include experimental laboratory data. Original communications, review articles or short communications may be submitted.
