Brief Introduction

Astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component, it can be found as a food supplement. The supplement is intended for human, animal, and aquaculture consumption.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes, which are built from five carbon precursors; isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate . Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll (originally derived from a word meaning “yellow leaves” since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygen-containing moities, hydroxyl or ketone , such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin. Indeed, astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and/or canthaxanthin, containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated (alternating double and single) double bonds at the centre of the compound. This chain of conjugated double bonds is also responsible for the antioxidant function of astaxanthin (as well as other carotenoids) as it results in a region of decentralized electrons that can be donated to reduce a reactive oxidizing molecule.

Function:

1.Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and may protect against oxidative damage to body tissues.

2.Astaxanthin can improve the immune response by increasing the number of antibody producing cells.

3.Astaxanthin is a potential candidate to treat neurodegenerative disease such as Alzhimer and Parkinson diease.

4.Astaxanthin dan reduce UVA-light damage to skin such as sunburn, inflammation, ageing and skin cancer.

Application

1.When applied in pharmaceutical field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antineoplastic;

2.When applied in health food field, astaxanthin powder is used as food additives for pigment and health care;

3.When applied in cosmetic field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antioxidant and anti-aging;

4.When applied in animal feeds field, astaxanthin powder is used as animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.

If you’re packing lunch for a nut-free classroom, this DIY Sunflower Seed Butter recipe is a lifesaver—and money saver, too!

Unlike tree nuts, sunflower seeds are allergy-friendly, so it’s great that they make a delicious sandwich spread that tastes surprisingly like peanut butter. The only problem is that store-bought can cost a lot and sometimes be overly sweetened, too. So instead of spending money, I spend some time—it doesn’t take much!—to make this DIY sunbutter.

All you need are raw sunflower seeds, salt, and honey or, if you’re sharing with anyone under 12-months-old, agave syrup.

Using raw sunflower seeds is *really* important. Even though you toast them before making sun butter, you can’t use pre-roasted. It seems like it’ll be a shortcut, I know, but it will really just be a disaster since roasted sunflower seeds don’t have enough oil to produce a creamy spread.

Toasting your raw seeds before blending them into a sunbutter gives your sunflower seeds spread an awesome flavor that I think is way better but, if you’re in a time crunch, you can make this without toasting them first. If you like the way it tastes, going straight from the package to the blender will certainly save you time—it’s just a matter of taste.

To make a big batch, I toss 3 cups of raw sunflower seeds into an ungreased pan set over medium heat. I cook them, shaking the pan every minute or so, until they are fragrance and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Then, toss the toasted seeds into a food processor or high powered blender with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar. Then whiz, whiz, whiz.

At first, the seeds will turn into a fine powder, then a grainy butter—don’t stop here. The longer you process the seeds, the more their oils will release. Keep going and soon, the grainy butter will turn into a creamy spread. Once this happens, you can leave it as chunky or make it as sooth as you like. The whole process can take 8-10 minutes, depending on how powerful your processor or blends is.

If you want to sweeten your sun butter beyond the sugar you’ve added in the beginning (like I do), add some honey to the grainy butter. Do it to taste—I usually add 2-3 teaspoons. You can add cinnamon then, too.

Then enjoy. Add what you don’t eat right away to a sealed container and keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.
