Factory Supply Plant Extract Powder Cas 472-61-7 100% Water Soluble Pure Natural Astaxanthin
Description:
Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid pigment. Astaxanthin is similar in structure than beta-carotene. The small differences
in structure causes large differences in the chemical properties.
Astaxanthin is produced by microscopic small plants: the micro-alga Haematococcus pluvialis. Haematococcus algae
can contain up to 30 g of astaxanthin per kg dried algae. These micro-alga are eaten by marine animals including fish,
crawfish, crabs and lobster. The Astaxanthin is responsible for the red colour of these animals. Another commercial
source is from the ink coloured yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous.
Function:
Astaxanthin plays many important biological functions in these species, including:
1. Improved protection against oxidation and photo-oxidation.
2. Reproduction and development.
3. Immune response.
4. Resistance to disease.
5. Reproductive behaviour.
Application:
1. Applied in food field, it is mainly used as food additives for pigment and health care;
2. Applied in animal feeds field, it is used as an new animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised
salmon and egg yolks;
3. Applied in pharmaceutical field, it is mainly used to prevent cancer and anti-oxidant;
