Astaxanthin is a compound with multiple functions, chemically named 3,3 '-dihydroxy-4,4' -diketo-β,β '-carotene,
which belongs to a kind of carotenoid.
It is a red solid powder, insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents
There are three main ways to obtain astaxanthin: biological extraction, chemical synthesis and production by algae, bacteria and yeast.
Biological extraction is the extraction of astaxanthin from nature, while chemical synthesis is the synthesis of astaxanthin by chemical

Effects of astaxanthin
Astaxanthin has many physiological functions in human body.
First of all, it can inhibit the occurrence of tumors, enhance immunity, and remove free radicals in the body.
Secondly, astaxanthin has a good therapeutic effect on skin cancer caused by ultraviolet light,
and can also prevent and treat eye diseases caused by diabetes.
In addition, it also has a wide range of application prospects in health products, medicine, cosmetics, food additives and aquaculture
Astaxanthin in cosmetics and food applications
Astaxanthin in the field of cosmetics is mainly used in facial cleanser, beauty cream, lotion, shampoo, mask and other products,
because it has a certain antioxidant, can stimulate cells to secrete more collagen, make the skin more elastic, moisturized, shiny,
so as to achieve the effect of delaying skin senescence 2. In the food industry, astaxanthin, as an antioxidant preservative,
can be used in dairy foods, meat foods, baked foods, pasta foods, flavored foods, etc.,
to maintain the color and natural flavor of foods and extend the shelf life
