A new protein complex (SAKP-Cur) was successfully prepared by combining soluble Antarctic krill protein with curcumin through hydrophobic action. The potency of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) mediated by the complex on preserving the storage quality of shrimp at 4 °C was investigated by microbiological, chemical, physical and histological methods. Results showed that the SAKP-Cur significantly improved the stability of curcumin, and greatly inactivated the native bacteria in shrimp driven by PDI. Meanwhile, the complex-mediated PDI effectively reduced the endogenous enzyme activity, the production of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in shrimp. Moreover, it obviously maintained the integrity and elasticity of the muscle fibers, thereby reducing the loss of water in myofibrils. Notably, the SAKP-Cur enhanced the PDI potency to preserve the freshness of shrimp during 4 °C storage or freeze-thaw cycles treatment. Therefore, the SAKP-Cur coupled with PDI is an effective fresh-keeping technology for aquatic products.

Due to the fact that association colloids were formed in krill oil, the oxidation mechanism of krill oil was more complicated. In this study, water-soluble ferrous sulfate (Fe(SO)), oil-soluble ferrous fumarate (CHFeO) and insoluble ferric oxide (FeO) were added to krill oil and stored at 60 °C for accelerated oxidation. Peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and aldehyde content showed that Fe(SO) had a stronger pro-oxidative effect.

Lichens play important roles in habitat formation and community succession in polar and alpine ecosystems. Despite their significance, the ecological effects of lichen traits remain poorly researched. We propose a trait trade-off for managing light exposure based on climatic harshness.

In this study, we first verified the feasibility of using Antarctic krill as a raw material for quick-brewed fish sauce, and the results showed that the amino acid nitrogen (AAN)and total soluble nitrogen(TSN) in the fermented 30 days fish sauce met the national level fish sauce standards, but the histamine content exceeded the maximum limit value of histamine in fish sauce (400 mg/kg) set by the International Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) and the European Union (EU). On this basis, the correlation between physicochemical indexes and bacterial communities during the fermentation of fish sauce was investigated using high-throughput sequencing, culture method. The correlation analyses revealed the relationship between bacterial communities and the quality and safety of fish sauce, and these studies will be helpful for the development of Antarctic krill fish sauce.

Protein properties can be modified by thermal treatment at different pH values, resulting in the formation of protein aggregates with diverse morphologies and functionalities. This study investigated the morphology of aggregates of Antarctic krill protein (AKPS) formed by thermal treatment (90 °C, 15 min) at pH 2, 3, 4, and 6-12, characterized the different morphologies of AKPS, and determined the metal ion (Ca, Fe, and Zn)-binding capacities. Results showed that heat treatment with different pH values generated various AKPS with distinct morphology and metal ion-binding abilities.

In this study, the effect of L-arginine (L-Arg) on the oxidative aggregation of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in Antarctic krill was evaluated. The results showed that the oxidized aggregation of MPs was significantly inhibited after the addition of 20 mM L-Arg compared to the oxidized group, the solubility of MPs significantly increased by 25.74 %, the turbidity reduced from 0.
