<p>The effects of microwave drying conditions of a Paracoccus carotinifaciens culture solution on astaxanthin Z-isomerization and degradation were investigated. The microwave drying significantly increase the ratio of astaxanthin Z-isomers, and the higher the microwave power and the longer the drying time, the higher the total Z-isomer ratio of astaxanthin, but such conditions also accelerated astaxanthin degradation. We found that the addition of powdered oils enhanced the Z-isomerization reaction. For example, when the P. carotinifaciens culture solution was dried at 1000 W power for 5 min without and with powdered rapeseed oil, total Z-isomer ratios of astaxanthin in resulting dried powder were 14.9 and 47.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the storage test of the dried P. carotinifaciens powder showed that astaxanthin Z- isomers were stable at 4℃ in a low-oxygen atmosphere. As astaxanthin Z-isomers have greater bioavailability and potentially exhibit superior biological activities than the all-E-isomer, the dried P. carotinifaciens powder obtained by the method of this study is expected to be used as a value-added astaxanthin source.</p>
