| Abstract | In last decade, Arthrospira has been considered an important source of high-quality nutrients and therefore it is suggested as a suitable functional food. In this work, Arthrospira maxima extracts were obtained in different conditions, varying solvents, time, temperature and extraction techniques, such as microwave- and ultrasound-assisted extraction (MAE and UAE, respectively). Total carotenoids and polyphenols were measured using UV determination tests, while HPLC analyses were carried out to identify the main compounds. Antioxidant activity of A. maxima extracts was evaluated in vitro by Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Acetone/hexane and acetone extracts were in general the richest in β-carotene and total carotenoids (20–33 and 40–70 mg/g extract, respectively). The best results were obtained under MAE at 90 °C for 10 min with the highest yields in terms of total carotenoids and β-carotene (>2.6 and >1.0 mg/g algae, respectively). MAE with ethanol (90 °C, 30 min) allowed maximization of total carotenoids and β-carotene amount (3.12 and 1.37 mg/g algae, respectively) thanks to the very good extraction yields. Moreover, this technique gave an extract with the highest antioxidant activity (812 and 519 µmol Trolox/g extract for TEAC and ORAC, respectively). Surprisingly, polyphenols were not detected in A. maxima extracts analyzed by HPLC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
