The current study investigated the antiadipogenic mechanism of krill oil from the 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The krill oil adhered to the criteria as a food standard by showing 50.8% of the total phospholipid, 5.27% myristic acid, and 1.63% linoleic acid. The lipid accumulation that was measured in the 3T3-L1 cells using oil red O staining was reduced up to 54% by the krill oil. The krill oil treatment reduced the adipogenic transcription factors by downregulating the sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), phospho-ACC, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. The current study confirmed that the krill oil inhibited adipogenesis by downregulating SREBP1 and ACC via the upregulation of the AMPK and nuclear factors E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These findings suggest that krill oil is a good source of phospholipid and phosphatidylcholine, which could be a potential natural antiobesity ingredient by inhibiting adipogenesis.

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.

The objective of this study was to prepare a microcapsule system composed of the inner microenvironment (probiotics), middle oil layer (soybean oil and polyglycerol polyricinoleate) and outer coacervate (whey protein and gum arabic) using double emulsification technique coupled with complex coacervation to encapsulate probiotics, and to evaluate the effect of adding krill oil (KO) to the middle oil layer on microcapsule structure and probiotic stability. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that whey protein may capture phospholipids in KO through hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of a more compact coacervate. Due to the compact coacervate enhanced the vapor transport barrier and reduced water evaporation during low-temperature dehydration, probiotics encapsulated in KO-supplemented microcapsules revealed less cell damage and a higher survival rate after freeze-drying.

Arsenic is a pervasive environmental pollutant that can bioaccumulate in Antarctic krill through the food chain, posing potential risks to human health. This study investigates the toxic effects of arsenic in Antarctic krill oil (AKO) on Caco-2 cells, focusing on oxidative stress and apoptosis induction. AKO is nutrient-rich and contains various arsenic species, including arsenite (As³⁺), arsenate (As⁵⁺), dimethyl arsinic acid (DMA), and arsenobetaine (AsB), each exhibiting different toxic potencies.

Zooplankton such as copepods and krill are currently used to produce marine oil supplements, with the aim of helping consumers achieve the recommended intake of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs). Oils from lower trophic levels differ from fish oil in the distribution of lipids into different classes, and this can influence the bioaccessibility of fatty acids, i.e.

In this study, silver carp surimi products enriched with Antarctic krill oil high internal phase emulsions (AKO-HIPEs) were cooked using steaming (STE), microwave heating (MIC), and air-frying (AIR), respectively. The gel and flavor properties, lipid quality and stability were investigated. Compared to the MIC and AIR groups, the STE surimi gel added with HIPEs had better texture properties, exhibiting higher water-holding capacity and a more homogeneous structure, while the air-frying treatment resulted in visually brighter surimi products.
