Kinetics of drosopterin release as indicator pigment for heat-induced color changes of brown shrimp (Crangon crangon).
Heat-induced color changes of crustaceans are commonly described as the release of astaxanthin. In this study on Crangon crangon, it was found that astaxanthin plays a minor role in the (dis)coloration. By LC-HRMS, two polar, process dependent pigments were found. One pigment was identified as riboflavin and one as drosopterin (level-2 certainty). Thermal treatments had highest effect on drosopterin concentration changes and were chosen as indicator for a kinetic study of heat-induced color changes. The kinetic data fitted a consecutive step model (r Topics: Animals; Color; Cooking; Crangonidae; Hot Temperature; Kinetics; Pigments, Biological; Pteridines; Riboflavin; Shellfish; Xanthophylls | 2018 |
