Investigating the impact of astaxanthin yogurt on gut microbiota and microbiota-mediated astaxanthin conversion using the SHIME® model.

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate how astaxanthin yogurt affects gut microbiota.
• Conducted a long-term experiment using the SHIME model to simulate human gut conditions.
• Evaluated the impact of astaxanthin yogurt on the gut microbial composition.
• Astaxanthin yogurt significantly influenced gut microbiota composition.
• Findings indicate possible microbiota-mediated conversion of astaxanthin.
