Castillo, Aly; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Heleno, Sandrina A.; Rodrigues, Paula; Fernandes, Filipa Alexandra; Pereira, Simón; Lores, Marta; Barros, LillianThis work proposes the application of astaxanthin-rich H. pluvialis wet paste (HPW) as a partial substitute for wheat flour in the preparation of filloas, a dish that combines the basic ingredients of industrial bakery. The nutritional and color profile of HPW-enriched samples was evaluated by comparative analysis with a mixture of synthetic food dyes. The highest content of carotenoids (798 ± 12 µg g−1) and fatty...
