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.

It’ll take 5 mins (prep) | 15 mins (cooking)
It’ll feed 2 – 4 people

Ingredients
3 thick slices of sourdough or a similar type of bread
A glug of olive oil
A pinch of chilli powder or chilli flakes
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lemon, zest and juice
350g purple sprouting or Tenderstem™ broccoli
Shavings of Parmesan or a ball of mozzarella (optional)

1. Slice your bread into rough croutons. Mix in a bowl with olive oil, a good pinch of chilli, salt and pepper, grated lemon zest and a good squeeze of juice.

2. Get a frying pan or oven hot. Cook in either till golden and crisp. Add extra oil during cooking, if needed.

3. Get a large frying or griddle pan really hot for your broccoli. Rinse the broccoli and keep a bit of water clinging to it. Place it in the hot pan. Add a hint of salt and pepper. Place the lemon halves in the pan, cut size down.

4. Turn broccoli after it’s coloured up on one side. Once it’s nicely charred, squeeze the juice of the griddled lemons over. Gloss with a little oil (or toss with a little butter, if you like). Scatter the croutons over. Finish with shavings of Parmesan or a torn mozzarella ball.
