To better enhance printing effects meanwhile casting functionality, antioxidation and absorption of bioactive component in printed Ca -nano starch (NS)-lutein (L)-surimi were investigated. Results shown that Ca -NS-L promoted surimi printability due to enhanced gel strength and denser structure. Mixing Ca -NS-L endowed printed surimi with antioxidation (DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radical, Fe reduction were 42 %, 79 %, 65 %, 0.104 mg·mL , respectively) due to the ability of lutein with more -OH groups and conjugate bonds to capture free radicals. It also manifested in cellular antioxidation that Ca -NS-L-surimi regulated the level of Nrf2 to protect gene expression of antioxidases (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px increased by 30-180 %, compared to damaged cells) through keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway. Additionally, lutein absorption and transportation of Ca -NS-L-surimi increased by 20 %, compared to NS-L. Possibly, combination of samples and membrane was facilitated by surface hydrophobic, promoting endocytosis. Meanwhile, digestive surimi (peptides) with acidic-alkaline amino acids and negative charges made samples be attracted and moved in bypass parts under electrostatic traction and repulsion (electrostatic domain) to promote transport process. Also, Ca facilitated CaM expression in membrane and formed Ca channel by combining with CaM to accelerate entry of samples into cells. Conclusively, Ca -NS-L both strengthened printability of surimi and antioxidation, promoting application of printed functional surimi.
