What is astaxanthin extract?
Astaxanthin extract is a red pigment that gives salmon, shrimp, and flamingos its pink color. Its chemical structure is similar to beta-carotene (found in carrots) and vitamin a. astaxanthin is part of the carotenoid group. Astaxanthin is produced by several species of algae and plankton. Some aquatic species, including crustaceans including shrimp, eat these algae and plankton and store the pigment in their shells, giving them a pinkish appearance. These shellfish, in turn, are preyed on by fish (salmon, trout) and birds (flamingos, ibis), and then store pigments in skin and fatty tissue. This is why salmon and some other animals are red. the astaxanthin was not bleached, so the signs of these animals retained their red color.

Astaxanthin extract use
Astaxanthin extract PH value: rhodococcus lives in fresh water and has a weak buffering capacity for pH. during the cultivation process, the pH value of the solution will rise rapidly with the absorption of nutrients, and the pH value is often >10. pH becomes the limiting factor for Rhodococcus growth. Controlling pH is one of the keys to solving the slow growth of Rhodococcus. Haematococcus pluvialis, especially its green swimming cells, is more sensitive to changes in environmental pH, and its growth state is closely related to the pH stability of the medium.
Astaxanthin extract is added to shrimp feed to help shrimp add color. astaxanthin also helps to enhance the anti-stress ability of crustaceans, is a potent antioxidant, and an additive that improves growth performance and color stability in many aquatic animals.
Crustaceans can convert many carotenoid pigments, such as beta-carotene, into astaxanthin. for example, lutein, a natural carotenoid that is much cheaper than astaxanthin, can be extracted from some vegetables such as marigold. In support of this idea, a recent study by the HJHERB R&D team showed that the addition of 200mg/kg lutein to the feed improved the growth performance, immunity and total carotenoid content of different tissues of Macrobrachium japonicus.
