Table 3. Incorporation efficiency (IE) of astaxanthin in EAG, EAGS 2:2 and EAGS 3:1 encapsulates.

Encapsulated	IE (%)
EAG	68.40 (0.24)^a
EAGS 2:2	72.50 (5.65)^a
EAGS 3:1	67.90 (0.23)^a

Mean (standard deviation), n = 3.

According to ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test (p<0.05), equal letters in the same column mean no significant difference.

EAG: astaxanthin-pigmented oil in porcine gelatin; EAGS 2:2: astaxanthin-pigmented oil in porcine gelatin and soy protein in a 2:2 w/w ratio; EAGS 3:1: astaxanthin-pigmented oil in porcine gelatin and soy protein in a 3:1 w/w ratio.
