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.

Food technologists now have a tool to alleviate these consumer concerns. Steviva Ingredients presents Nectevia, a plant-based syrup designed to naturally sweeten foods and reduce calories. Nectevia begins with organic agave nectar extracted from blue agave, a succulent that grows in the American Southwest and Mexico. The nectar is extracted at low temperatures and mildly filtered. The addition of high- intensity steviol glycosides boosts the sweetness. The stevia component also fulfills the natural label. Steviva Ingredients relies solely on water extraction to isolate the purest components of the stevia plant. No chemical solvents are used. The result is a smooth, clean flavor. Nectevia’s ingredient statement is simply agave nectar and stevia.
This all- natural sweetener is four times sweeter than invert sugar. Agave has a flavor faintly reminiscent of honey. It dissolves quickly in hot or cold liquids so it can easily be incorporated in beverages, sauces and dressings. It serves as a binding agent in cereals and bars.
