Brief Introduction

Astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component, it can be found as a food supplement. The supplement is intended for human, animal, and aquaculture consumption.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes, which are built from five carbon precursors; isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate . Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll (originally derived from a word meaning “yellow leaves” since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygen-containing moities, hydroxyl or ketone , such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin. Indeed, astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and/or canthaxanthin, containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated (alternating double and single) double bonds at the centre of the compound. This chain of conjugated double bonds is also responsible for the antioxidant function of astaxanthin (as well as other carotenoids) as it results in a region of decentralized electrons that can be donated to reduce a reactive oxidizing molecule.

Function:

1.Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and may protect against oxidative damage to body tissues.

2.Astaxanthin can improve the immune response by increasing the number of antibody producing cells.

3.Astaxanthin is a potential candidate to treat neurodegenerative disease such as Alzhimer and Parkinson diease.

4.Astaxanthin dan reduce UVA-light damage to skin such as sunburn, inflammation, ageing and skin cancer.

Application

1.When applied in pharmaceutical field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antineoplastic;

2.When applied in health food field, astaxanthin powder is used as food additives for pigment and health care;

3.When applied in cosmetic field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antioxidant and anti-aging;

4.When applied in animal feeds field, astaxanthin powder is used as animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.

Rendering Beeswax – First Melt and Filter

This is Part 1. This takes the original combs straight from the hive down to a solid block for the first render. In this case, the combs had been slimed by small hive beetle (SHB) and contained all sorts of dead bee larva, beetle larva, wax moth, honey, etc. So just a whole hodgepodge of stuff.

Like usual, it is all melted together in one big pot with plenty of water. In general, the dirtier your wax, the higher your water/wax ratio needs to be . We melt it all down into a liquid mix, then sieve out the large solids, cocoons, larva, and dead bees.

Once it cools and solidifies, the wax has all floated to the top and leaves suspended gooey solids on the bottom, and also heavier solids that have sunk to the bottom of the pan.

Now we rinse off all the loose mucky debris. Next up we’ll take this same block of wax, and likely a few more like it after their primary render, and melt all of them together again. Hopefully if they all have a primary this clean, then all we’ll need is a secondary to pull out residual dirtiness, and isolate wax from propolis.
