Similarly, b-carotene has immunomodulating properties
in animals and humans (Garewal et al.,
1992).
Interestingly, quantitative and qualitative analysis
of cartenoprotein in terms of apolar residues,
polarity index and small, charged amino acid
content (Table 2) were close with other reported
anostracan species. However, apolar residues and
polarity index of S. dichotomus were high compared
to Chirocephalus diaphanus, whereas the
small amino acid content was high compared to
Branchipus stagnalis.
Recently, shrimp waste has added value to the
shrimp industry due to presence of a red-orange
