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.

PATRA

Ingredients

6-8 colocassia leaves (arbi patta)
2 cups gram flour (besan)
2-3 tablespoons jaggery powder
2 teaspoons tamarind pulp
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
¼ teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
1 teaspoon coriander powder
½ teaspoon cumin powder
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons ginger-green chilli paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh scraped coconut

Method

1. Heat some water in a steamer. Place a perforated plate, cover and let the water boil.
2. Put gram flour in a bowl. Add jaggery powder, tamarind pulp, turmeric powder, chilli powder, asafoetida, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, ginger-green chilli paste and half of coriander leaves and mix. Add some water and mix to make a thick batter.
3. Trim off the thick stems from the colocassia leaves.
4. To prepare one patra, place one leaf inverted and spread some batter evenly. Place another leaf inverted on top and apply some batter. Fold the sides, applying some batter and roll tightly. Apply some more batter on top.
5. Place the rolls in hot steamer, applying some batter if required, cover and steam for 15 minutes. Remove from steamer and cool.
6. Cut the rolls into roundels.
7. Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add mustard seeds and white sesame seeds and let mustard seeds splutter.
8. Add the roundels, mix and cook for 1 minute. Add coconut and remaining coriander leaves, switch off heat and mix well.
9. Serve hot.

This patient underwent microsurgical resection of an enlarged glioblastoma multiforme. Complete hemostasis was achieved in 332 sec by application of MPH. No additional topical hemostat or electric coagulation was used for the closing hemostasis. Postoperative cranial CT-imaging revealed no bleeding
complication.
