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.

AstaReal 藻紅素成分，全世界廣泛應用於營養食品上

「軟膠囊」和「錠狀」產品，或許是最受歡迎的形式，但我們也看到「功能性食品和飲品」的應用，越來越急速增加。

AstaReal藻紅素是從”雨生紅球藻”萃取而來，它提供豐富的油脂，可做成軟膠囊成品中。

而我們有客戶，將藻紅素油脂應用於「巧克力」。他們將「藻紅素和巧克力」混合，製成「巧克力的超級食品」，真的非常有趣吧！

我們也測試藻紅素添加在烘焙食物中，藻紅素在270度的烘烤溫度下
品質仍然相當穩定，它的的穩定性意味著，藻紅素可以被添加在「蛋白質棒」和「能量棒」中。

我認為，未來藻紅素市場，是一個非常大的應用領域

AstaReal也有一些優秀的水溶性規格，日本獨特的配方技術，生產出真正的水溶性及純度等級極高的藻紅素。

以上這些點子，都是日本和亞洲其他國家，準備投入食品、飲品市場的理想選擇。

我們看到許多公司生產水溶性的食品，以便讓他們的食品發揮最佳的營養價值，因此，AstaReal獨特的技術，也生產出「水溶性規格」的藻紅素

我們的藻紅素能一分鐘內於冷水溶解，這意指 你可以非常容易的添加於果汁。例如，用於「美容飲品」或「提升肌耐力的運動飲料」
這些水溶性的滲透力能提高血管的靈活性。

AstaReal將繼續開發創新的藻紅素產品，讓大家可添加於任何功能性食品中。

AstaReal astaxanthin ingredients are used in high quality supplements around the world

Softgels and tablets are probably most popular, but we’re seeing a rapid increase in the use of natural astaxanthin in functional foods and beverages

AstaReal astaxanthin is extracted the from “Haematococcus Pluvialis Microalgae” that give astaxanthin rich oil that can be used in softgels

But we’re also had customers use that oil in chocolate

They’re added astaxanthin and chocolate to make a superfood chocolate. Very interesting!!

We also tested astaxanthin oil in baked products
we bake the astaxanthin 270 degrees and that astaxanthin is stable during the cooking process

It’s also stable on the shelf that means it astaxanthin could be added protein bars or power bars

We think that’s a big area for astaxanthin in the future. AstaReal also has some excellent water soluble astaxnthin ingredients

We use unique formulating techniques from Japan to create truly water soluble and extrememely transparent astaxanthin grades

Those are ideal for making ready to drink beverages in Japan and other markets in Asia.

we’re seeing many companies are making products with water soluble astaxanthin to add afunctionality to their drinks

We also have use our spray drive technology to make water soluble astaxanthin bilitis

Those be bilitis dissolved in cold water in less than one minute
that means that you can add the power of astaxanthin to fruit juice

For example, for beauty benefits or to a sports drink for muscle benefits
those water soluble be bilitis feel it’s really offer a lot of flexibility to the consumer

AstaReal is going to continue to develop innovative astaxanthin ingredinet products, so that you can add the power of natural astaxathin to every wider range of products.
