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.

Condensation polymers are formed when monomers join together, and in the process also form a separate small molecule such as a water molecule. The ends of the monomer molecules must have functional groups that can join with other functional groups on neighbouring molecules.
Condensation polymerisation is the process in which two monomers combine with the elimination of a smaller molecule. One way that two different monomers can combine and in doing so lose a molecule of water and represents condensation polymerisation. This process continues and each remaining end joins with another monomer—each time lengthening the chain. One way to think of this is a “head-to-tail” joining.
Synthetic condensation polymers include nylons and polyesters. Natural condensation polymers include cellulose, cotton, wool, and silk.
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate or polysaccharide. It is the most abundant biopolymer in nature. Carbohydrates consist of molecules containing C, H and O atoms. Carbohydrates contain many alcohol functional groups.
• Cellulose consists of long chains of β-glucose monomers.
• Glucose is an example of a simple carbohydrate or monosaccharide.
Structure of glucose :
Glucose (C6H12O6) is a ring molecule. The carbon atoms in the ring are numbered as shown. The –OH functional groups may be orientated above or below the plane of the ring. These different orientations at C, produce the alpha and beta forms of the glucose monomers.
• Glucose is an organic compound
• Ring can open up in solution to form a straight-chain structure. Open and chain forms are in equilibrium that cause glucose to exist as anomers, β-glucose and α-glucose.
Biopolymer is a naturally occurring polymer such as cellulose, starch, gluten, DNA and protein.
Formation of cellulose:
Cellulose is a condensation polymer which is formed when glucose monomers condense together through beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds. This involves a reaction between the –OH groups at the C1 and C4 carbons of adjacent glucose molecules.
The process begins by the condensation reaction between two glucose monomers to form a beta-maltose dimer. A water molecule is eliminated during this reaction. More glucose monomers condense and the chain grows until about 10 000 glucose monomers are linked in long, unbranched, ribbon-like strands.
Strong hydrogen bonding exists between –OH groups of neighbouring, close-packed strands. This produces a water-insoluble polymer with great strength and rigidity. Plants use cellulose as a structural carbohydrate for their cell walls.

After receiving a wave of questions from concerned individuals regarding pine pollen & whether or not it elevates DHT in the body – I decided to make this video & share what I have learned about this specific topic.
