Major lipophilic pigments in Atlantic seaweeds as valuable food ingredients: analysis and assessment of quantification methods
Current trends towards the use of ingredients from natural origin in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry, place macroalgae as a good reservoir of novel compounds. Among them, lipophilic major pigments such as chlorophylls and fucoxanthin, are of great interest because of their multiple applic...
