Bullfrogs (Aquarana catesbeiana) are increasingly cultivated for their high nutritional value and adaptability to intensive aquaculture systems. However, ensuring optimal intestinal health growth performance remains a challenge due poor water quality stocking densities. This study evaluated the effects of varying dietary concentrations citral, natural compound from lemongrass essential oil, on health, microbiota, antioxidant capacity, juvenile bullfrogs. A total 200 bullfrogs (initial weight 6.85 ± 0.71 g) were randomly assigned into six groups, each receiving diets supplemented with citral at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 mL/kg feed 8 weeks. Citral supplementation significantly improved morphology, goblet cell numbers, mucosal thickness, villus-to-crypt ratios peaking 2-4 (P < 0.05). Optimal doses also enhanced digestive enzyme activities, α-amylase, lipase, pepsin activities showing significant increases compared control group Antioxidant markers, including capacity (T-AOC) glutathione (GSH), highest 2 mL/kg, while higher reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT) indicating potential oxidative stress 8-16 modulated increasing relative abundance beneficial bacteria such as Cetobacterium 1-2 microbial diversity decreased above 4 mL/kg. Growth analysis revealed that gain rate (WGR), specific (SGR), carcass (CW), efficiency (FE), survival rates declined linear regression model determined concentration be 3.216-3.942 concludes optimally enhances performance, in bullfrogs, may disrupt gut balance.

In this study, an efficient and eco-friendly method was developed for continuous liquid–liquid extraction of lutein from microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. By employing a limonene-based biphasic liquid system, high-purity successfully obtained the crude extract in single run via centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC). Evaluation optimization results demonstrated that limonene could effectively serve as replacement n-hexane solvent system extraction, exhibiting natural renewability minimal environmental impact. Furthermore, elution–extrusion operation mode employed to fully exploit nature stationary phase process, allowing sampling separation without interruption. This proposed protocol offers sustainable environmentally friendly alternative extracting valuable ingredients biomass, demonstrating its potential scalable solution producing lutein-enriched applicable functional foods nutraceuticals.
