Pasta is a complex multi component system consisting of bio-macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates and lipids (Kill, 2001). Pasta is a source of carbohydrates (74–77%, db) whose interest is increasing due to its nutritional properties, in particular due to its low glycemic index (GI). Wakame (U.pinnatifida), one of the widely consumed brown seaweed is rich in fucoxanthin ( Miyashita, & Hosokawa, 2008). Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll characteristic of brown seaweed and is the most abundant among aquatic carotenoids accounting for more than 10% of estimated total natural production of carotenoids.
