High-pressure extraction (HPE) of crustacean by-products for the recovery of valuable compounds.

Species By-Products Compound Extraction Conditions Optimum Conditions Yield and Characteristics of Products’ References
Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Head and shell Astaxanthin P: 0.1–600 MPa, liquid-to-solid ratio (10 to 50 mL/g), and pressure holding time (0–20 min) P: 210 MPa
P holding time:9.2 min,
liquid-solid-ratio: 32 mL/g
89.12 μg/g [82]
Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Shells Astaxanthin P: 0.1–600 MPa, holding times (0–20 min), different solvents (acetone, dichloromethane, and ethanol), and solvent to solid ratios (10–50 mL/g) Ethanol, liquid to solid ratio of 20 mL/g and 200 MPa for 5min. 71.1 μg/g,
better antioxidant activity in the extract than conventional solvent extraction
