The stability and bioavailability of fourteen astaxanthin esters (Asta-Es) with different molecular structures were investigated using in vitro and in vivo digestion models. The results demonstrated that Asta-E with long-chain and saturated fatty acids were more stable than other types of Asta-E. Astaxanthin diester (Asta-DE) was better than astaxanthin monoester (Asta-ME) and free astaxanthin (F-Asta), as determined based on the degradation rate constant at 60 °C. The absorbability of Asta-Es with different molecular structures was evaluated through the serum concentrations of astaxanthin (Asta). The results indicated that Asta-E with short-chain fatty acids had higher bioavailability than Asta-Es with long-chain fatty acids, whereas Asta-E with high-unsaturation fatty acids had higher bioavailability than Asta-E with low-unsaturation fatty acids. Asta-ME had significantly increased bioavailability compared with Asta-DE. We concluded that the molecular structure of Asta-E could significantly affect their stability and bioavailability.
本文采用体外和体内消化模型研究了 14 种具有不同分子结构的虾青素酯(Asta-E)的稳定性和生物利用度。结果表明,具有长链和饱和脂肪酸的 Asta-E 比其他类型的 Asta-E 更稳定。根据 60°C 时的降解速率常数,虾青素二酯(Asta-DE)优于虾青素单酯(Asta-ME)和游离虾青素(F-Asta)。通过虾青素(Asta)的血清浓度评估了不同分子结构的 Asta-Es 的吸收能力。结果表明,具有短链脂肪酸的 Asta-E 的生物利用度高于具有长链脂肪酸的 Asta-E,而具有高不饱和脂肪酸的 Asta-E 的生物利用度高于具有低不饱和脂肪酸的 Asta-E。Asta-ME 的生物利用度明显高于 Asta-DE。我们得出结论,Asta-E 的分子结构会显著影响其稳定性和生物利用度。
