Product Properties
Canthaxanthin is a kind of natural pigment with great potential of antioxidants. It has the ability to quench reactive oxygen species and scavenge free radicals. Its ability to quench reactive oxygen species and scavenge free radicals is second only to canthaxanthin. It is nearly twice that of vitamin E and fifty times that of vitamin E, also known as super vitamin E. In 1984, FDA/WHO approved the inclusion of cantharidin as a food additive and established quality standards. Canthaxanthin has been widely used as colorant, nutrient and antioxidant to be added to food, feed and cosmetics. Natural canthaxanthin is found in very small amounts in certain mushrooms, crustaceans, fish, algae, eggs, blood and liver. In addition, certain microorganisms can also produce canthaxanthin.
As a feed additive, canthaxanthin is mainly used for skin coloring and egg yolk coloring of poultry. The epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa are better deposited in the subcutaneous tissue, yolk and other tissues, thereby significantly deepening the egg yellowness of poultry and improving the skin color of poultry.
In cosmetic applications, canthaxanthin is a very safe edible pigment. Its bright color gives people a cheerful and pleasant feeling. Adding it to cosmetics can achieve an ideal color and luster effect.
In medical treatment, its good antioxidant capacity is mainly used to reduce free radicals in the human body, thereby playing the role of anti-oxidation, anti-aging, preventing cardiovascular disease, improving immunity and anti-cancer.
