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.

1. Yogurt

Yogurt can be a delicious healthy snack, but did you know it’s also full of probiotics? For yogurt to become yogurt, live bacteria is added to milk, and this bacteria is transferred to you when you eat it. Eating a daily serving of yogurt is one of the best ways to balance your gut flora, and one of the tastiest too. Yogurt that is unpasturized, no added sugar and labeled with ‘live and active cultures’ is best. Sugar is one of the foods that can unbalance your bacteria.
2. Kefir: Kefir is one of the best sources of probiotics, but not many people know about it. Kefir is simply milk fermented with yeast and lactic acid bacteria, called kefir grains. This drink is believed to come from the Caucasus Mountains hundreds of years ago. It is creamy with a sour taste like sour cream, but it can be sweetened. You can also find coconut kefir, which is coconut water fermented with kefir grains, for a lactose-free version with added nutrients.
3. Sauerkraut: Sauerkraut isn’t the most popular food around. Made from fermented cabbage, it’s a bit of an acquired taste that is more common in Germany, Poland and even France. Sauerkraut is made by adding salt to cabbage and letting it ferment. Such a simple food with a probiotic count of possibly more than yogurt.
4. Kimchi: Kimchi is a similar dish to sauerkraut but from Korea. It can be made from cabbage or other vegetables such as radishes or cucumber. Different varieties were made depending on the region or the season of the year. In the winter they eat many varieties as it can be made ahead and stored in specific kimchi refrigerators.
5. Curtido: Like sauerkraut and kimchi, curtido is fermented cabbage like a salsa, from Central America. It often contains chilies and onions as well, and is popular in El Salvador.
6. Tempeh: Fermented soy is a great source of probiotics. Tempeh is one form of this, since it goes through a process of fermenting in order to form a cake-like substance. Unlike tofu, which is pressed soy milk, tempeh uses the entire soybean, and since it is fermented, it contains probiotics.
7. Miso: Like tempeh, miso is also fermented soybeans, but mixed with rice and barley to form a paste. It is generally used for seasoning and is a main ingredient in miso soup, a traditional Japanese soup.
8. Natto: Of the three, natto is probably the least well known of fermented soy products. It is similar to tempeh in that it uses the whole soybean, but it has a distinctly different texture, sticky and soft.
9. Buttermilk: While buttermilk used to be a byproduct of making butter from milk, buttermilk is now usually made by adding bacterial cultures to milk to ferment it, just like yogurt. This makes buttermilk a great source of probiotics though it is possible that heating it to cook with might destroy the bacteria.
10. Cheese: Not all cheese contains probiotics, but some aged cheeses use bacteria, particularly lactic acid bacteria, to form whey and curds. The bacteria ferments the cheese and gives us a dose of probiotics. The most probiotic-filled aged cheeses are cheddar, Parmesan, Gouda and Swiss.
