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.

Cheese Broccoli Recipe

Ingredients

1 Lb Fresh Broccoli
1 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs All-Purpose Flour
2-1/2 Cups Water
1 Cup Whole Milk
2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Ok so to begin this recipe you’re going to chop off the thick stem of your heads of broccoli. Afterwards, snap off the broccoli florets with your hands.

2. Place a pot of water over medium heat. Once the water comes to a boil, add your broccoli florets and cook them for about 4 minutes. This is what we call blanching. You want your broccoli tender but not limp, so we aren’t going to be cooking them for long. You’ll notice that the broccoli changes in color which is another way you can tell they are done as well.

3. Once the broccoli is done, drain the hot water and season it with the salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Just sprinkle the seasoning over the broccoli, you don’t have to stir in in or anything.

4. So now it’s time to create a cheese sauce for our broccoli so get a small pot and place it over medium heat. Add your butter and flour, then stir in well.

5. Once the flour changes in color, add your milk, and 1-1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. We aren’t going to use all the cheese just yet because we have to reserve some for later. Stir the cheese in well and allow it to cook until the cheese melts into a cheese sauce and thickens.

6. Once your cheese turns into a nice thick cheese sauce, pour it over the seasoned broccoli, then top the cheese broccoli with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

7. Place the cheese broccoli over low heat. Cover it with a lid and let it simmer until the top cheese melts. Enjoy!
