Аннотация:The aim of the present study was to develop astaxanthin ester nanoemulsions with phosphatidylcholine and evaluate their stability during storage under various conditions. Monoesters were obtained by column chromatographyof an oil extract of Haematococcus pluvialis and mixed astaxanthin esters. Monoester fatty-acidcompositions were determined by HPLC. A solution of astaxanthin monoesters or a mixture of astaxanthin mono- and diesters in 5% aqueous EtOH was rapidly degraded in light at room temperature. The addition of antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene did not give significant positive results. In contrast, simultaneous addition of albumin, which was used for these purposes for the first time, increased significantly the shelf life. The optimized conditions for producing nanoemulsions from astaxanthin esters and phosphatidylcholine by injection gave nanoemulsions with an average particle size of 50 nm that remainedphysically and chemically stable during storage for a month.
