Powerful Natural Antioxidant Astaxanthin Oil
Derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis and the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma, Astaxanthin Oil is a carotenoid compound that belongs to the group of larger compounds known as terpenes. It has a molecular formula of C40H52O4 and is a reddish pigment renowned for its potent antioxidant properties. Its reddish color is a result of a chain of conjugated double bonds in its structure, which contributes to its antioxidant function by generating a dispersed electron region able to donate electrons to reactive oxygen species.
Astaxanthin, also known as metaphycoxanthin, is a powerful natural antioxidant and a type of carotenoid. It is both fat-soluble and water-soluble and is present in marine organisms such as shrimp, crabs, salmon, and algae. With an antioxidant capacity 550 times greater than that of vitamin E and 10 times greater than that of beta-carotene, astaxanthin is formulated as functional food and marketed widely.
Astaxanthin, a carotenoid present in a variety of natural foods, imparts a vibrant red-orange color to foods such as krill, algae, salmon, and lobster. It is available in supplement form and is also approved for use as a food coloring in animal and fish feed. This carotenoid is commonly found in chlorophyta, a group of green algae, with haematococcus pluvialis and the yeasts phaffia rhodozyma and xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous being some of the primary sources of astaxanthin.

6. Biotechnology and Research: It is also used in research and biotechnological applications due to its unique properties and potential health benefits.
The production process typically involves the following general steps:
1. Cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis: The first step involves cultivating the microalgae in a controlled environment such as photobioreactors or open ponds, providing them with suitable nutrients, light, and temperature to promote astaxanthin accumulation.
2. Harvesting of Haematococcus pluvialis: Once the microalgae reach optimal astaxanthin content, they are harvested through methods such as centrifugation or filtration to separate them from the cultivation medium.
3. Cell disruption: The harvested microalgae cells are then subjected to a cell disruption process to release the astaxanthin. This can be achieved through methods such as mechanical crushing, ultrasonication, or bead milling.
4. Extraction of astaxanthin: The disrupted cells are then subjected to extraction processes using solvents or supercritical fluid extraction to separate the astaxanthin from the biomass.
5. Purification: The extracted astaxanthin undergoes purification processes to remove impurities and isolate the pure astaxanthin oil.
6. Concentration: The purified astaxanthin oil is concentrated to increase its potency and meet specific astaxanthin content requirements.
7. Testing and quality control: The final astaxanthin oil is tested for its astaxanthin content, purity, and potency to ensure it meets quality standards.
8. Packaging and storage: The astaxanthin oil is packaged in suitable containers under controlled conditions to maintain its stability and shelf life.
