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.

Having SteviaSweet 95-60 stevia extract in the food designer’s toolkit. Extracted from the leaves of the South American plant Stevia rebaudiana, this high potency sweetener has 200 to 300 times the sweetness of sugar. There are several components within the leaf, but only two main steviol glycosides contribute sweetness, Stevioside and Rebaudioside A commonly referred to as Reb A. Both the balance and the purity of these compounds will impact flavor.

While many companies gravitate toward high levels of Reb A, Steviva Ingredients has a different approach with SteviaSweet 95-60. SteviaSweet 95-60 is a proprietary blend of steviol glycosides containing 60% pure Reb A and 95% steviosides. This perfect combination delivers what we feel is the least bitter and most well rounded flavor high intensity sweetener available.

No harsh chemical solvents are used in the SteviaSweet 95-60 stevia extract process. Water extraction and temperature induced spray-drying produces this naturally sweet powder. Clean processing is especially important because the meaning of the word natural is coming under scrutiny.
As one of the nation’s leading suppliers of stevia products, Steviva Ingredients is committed to producing the food industry’s best all natural, high intensity sweeteners. SteviaSweet 95-60 is ideal for baked goods, confections, sweet goods, packaged meals, beverages and marinades.
