Abstract

Fucoxanthin, an algal carotenoid with bioactivity that benefits human health, is gain�ing popularity as a functional food. Therefore, in this study, the effect of drying meth�ods and conditions on the production of fucoxanthin isomers in three closely related Sargassum species with slightly different morphological lamina were investigated. The recovery of fucoxanthin after oven-drying was 1.1–1.3-fold higher than that after sun�drying and varied 1.6-fold among the S. species used, indicating that each algal species has a different heat susceptibility even among closely related species, and should be op�timized for each species and drying method. In Padina australis with homogeneous mor�phology, the optimal temperature to maintain all-trans form was 60°C with only a 5.3% loss, while other cis-isomer transformations were maintained at 80°C. The apparent activation energy estimated by Arrhenius plots differed for the all-trans form and cis�isomer transformations, indicating the presence of different reactions between them
