               Astaxanthin is a keto carotenoid, the chemical name is 3,3′-dihydroxy-4,4′-diketo-β,β′-carotene, red solid powder, fat-soluble, insoluble Water, soluble in organic solvents. [1]  . It exists widely in the biological world, especially in the feathers of aquatic animals such as shrimps, crabs, fish and birds, and plays a role in color rendering.

Astaxanthin is a chain-breaking antioxidant. It has strong antioxidant capacity, can remove nitrogen dioxide, sulfide, disulfide, etc., can also reduce lipid peroxidation, and effectively inhibit lipid peroxidation caused by free radicals. At the same time, it has many physiological functions such as inhibiting tumor occurrence, enhancing immunity, and removing free radicals in the body. It has a good therapeutic effect on skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays, and also has a preventive effect on eye diseases caused by diabetes. It has broad application prospects in cosmetics, food additives and aquaculture.

In addition to biological extraction, astaxanthin can also be produced by chemical synthesis, algae, bacteria and yeast. In addition, the application of DNA recombination technology to construct high-yield astaxanthin genetic engineering is also under study.

Application
food health food
Foreign astaxanthin has been used as a food additive for food coloring, preservation and nutrition. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, with bright red color and strong antioxidant properties. It has both coloring and fresh-keeping effects on foods, especially those with more lipids.
drug
The antioxidant and immune-promoting effects of astaxanthin can be used to prevent oxidative tissue damage.
feed industry
The largest market for astaxanthin is in the feed industry, where it can be used as a feed additive mainly for fish (salmon, sturgeon, rainbow trout, sea bream, etc.) and crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs and poultry.
cosmetic
Astaxanthin, as a new cosmetic raw material, is widely used in creams, emulsions, lip balms, skin care products and other cosmetics due to its excellent properties.
