Astaxanthin a purple-red crystal was extracted from shrimp, crab and other aquatic products in 1933, and it was determined to be a carotenoid closely related to astaxanthin, so it was named astaxanthin. It widely exists in organisms such as shrimp, crab, fish, bird, certain algae and fungi. As a non-provitamin A carotenoid, astaxanthin cannot be transformed into vitamin A in animals, but it has the same antioxidant effect as carotenoids, and its ability to quench singlet oxygen and capture free radicals is better than β - Carotene is more than 10 times higher than vitamin E, and it is more than 100 times stronger than vitamin E. People also call it "super vitamin E". Astaxanthin's antioxidant, coloring, and immunity-enhancing properties have been widely recognized. The United States and other countries have allowed it to be used as a food additive in production. As a natural food additive, it has broad development prospects.
