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.

Sweet potato/Pumpkin pie

1 cup pumpkin

1 cup sweet potato

4 ounces cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 egg whites

1 cup half-half

1/2 stick of butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick pumpkin spice

2 graham cracker crust

Clean out a small pumpkin and cut it into 4 pieces. Wrap pieces along with your sweet potato and place them on the grill on indirect heat for an hour or until they are soft to the touch or cook them in the oven on 425 degrees. Remove any of the outside skin and place a cup of each into a large mixing bowl along with the cream cheese. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until pureed. Add egg whites, half-and-half and butter and blend until combined. Add sugar, seasonings and vanilla and blend until mixture is a smooth puree. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour until the middle of the pie rises. Let cool to room temperature and serve with a little cool whip and cinnamon sugar on top. This will make two pies.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

1 cup pumpkin seeds

1 tablespoon old bay

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Place pumpkin seeds in a pan and cover them your olive oil and seasonings. Toss them in the pan over high heat until they are toasted and covered with spices. If you would like to add more spice, add 1/2 tablespoon of crushed red pepper to the mixture.
