Antarctic Krill

 

Overview of Antarctic Krill

Antarctic krill is one of 5 species of krill that lives in the Southern Ocean, south of the Antarctic convergence.Krill are mostly transparent, although their shells have a bright red tinge from small pigment spots. Their digestive system is usually visible and is often a vivid green from the microscopic plants they have eaten. They have large black eyes.They range in size from small tropical species (of less than one centimetre in length), to 6 cm for the largest pelagic krill species in the Southern Ocean. There is one deep-sea benthic krill species that can reach 14 cm.

We offer the following Product introduce:

Natural Antarctic Krill Oil

DHA, in particular, is essential for brain development in infants and children. In adults, it supports cognitive function, including memory, focus, and attention. Some studies suggest that regular intake of krill oil may improve mental performance and reduce the risk of age - related cognitive decline.

Antarctic Krill Meal

Krill meal is widely used as a high-quality protein source and attractant. Its unique smell and taste can strongly attract aquatic animals such as fish and shrimp, increasing their feeding enthusiasm and food intake, thereby promoting growth.
Added to pet food, krill meal can provide a rich source of nutrition, helping to meet the various nutritional needs of pets and contributing to their overall health.

Krill Protein Peptide

Food Industry Nutritional Supplements: Krill protein peptides are often used in the production of nutritional supplements, such as protein powders and energy bars.
Functional Foods: Incorporated into various functional foods, they can improve the nutritional value and functionality of the products.
Cosmetics Industry Skin Care Products: Due to their antioxidant and moisturizing properties, krill protein peptides are used in skin care formulations.
Pharmaceutical Industry Drug Development: The unique biological activities of krill protein peptides make them potential candidates for drug development.

Briefly, eight hundred grams of frozen krill block was thawed with running water for 2.5 h at room temperature, and the krill samples were boiled for 10 min to inactivate the endogenous enzyme. After mincing for 1 min, about 460 g of samples were uniformly tiled on the flat plate with a thickness of 5 mm for the drying process.

A two-stage convective drying method was adopted in this study, and the drying conditions in the first stage were kept at 95 °C under the standard atmospheric pressure (101 kPa). Five experimental groups were conducted according to the different drying conditions in the second stage: (1) Group 1, 95 °C and 101 kPa; (2) Group 2, 95 °C and 60 kPa; (3) Group 3, 75 °C and 101 kPa; (4) Group 4, 75 °C and 60 kPa; (5) Group 5, 75 °C and 20 kPa (Figure 1C). The second stage was initiated when the moisture content reached 50 ± 1%, and the drying procedure was terminated when the moisture content decreased to 10 ± 1%. The converting moisture point and other parameters were selected based on the results of our previous experiments, which indicated that bioactive compounds began to degrade rapidly when the moisture content reached about 50%.
