Pioneering application of Antarctic krill protein in astaxanthin steady-state delivery.

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) protein, as a type of high-quality protein resources, exhibits favorable bio-compatibility, environmental stability and other beneficial biological values. Nevertheless, the inadequate exploitation and low-value applications have impeded its development in the food industry. Based on the excellent amphiphilic structure of it, Antarctic krill protein, is expected to become a new material for constructing nutrient delivery system.
