Canthaxanthin Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Zebu Yellow is a natural pigment with great potential as an antioxidant, with the ability to quench reactive oxygen species and scavenge free radicals. Its ability to quench reactive oxygen species and scavenge free radicals is second only to astaxanthin, nearly twice as much as β-carotene, and fifty times as much as Vitamin E, which is also known as Super Vitamin E.

In 1984, FDA/WHO approved the inclusion of Zanthoxylum in food additives and set quality standards. Zanthoxylum has been widely used as a colouring agent, nutrient and antioxidant added to food, feed and cosmetics.

Natural Zanthoxylum is found in some mushrooms, crustaceans, fish, algae, eggs, blood and liver, the content is very small, in addition, some microorganisms can also produce Zanthoxylum.

Uses of Canthaxanthin.

Edible orange pigment, used as beverages, ice cream, waffles and other non-accessory biscuits k sauces, tomato processed products, meat processing products. Appropriate amount added to white cake

Addition of appropriate amount to the white cake powder can bring apricot colour, after baking pigment residue rate of up to 96%. Add 11mg/kg to pork sausage to get the same colour tone as beef products.

It can be used as orange colouring agent for beverages, ice-cream, sauces, tomato products and meat products.

Pharmacological Effect of Canthaxanthin.

Anti-cancer effect of rat oral cancer experiments, proved that Zebuwang Huang on the proliferation of tumours with obvious inhibition, can significantly reduce the incidence of cancer.

Supplementation of Zebu Yellow can reduce the incidence of breast tumour by 65%, and Zebu Yellow can also reduce the carcinogenicity of methylnitrosourea, and has good effect on reducing the number and volume of methylnitrosourea-induced breast tumour cells.

In addition, feeding Zebu Yellow significantly inhibited the occurrence of thymoma, melanoma and fibrosarcoma, and the strength of this inhibitory effect was directly related to the feeding dose of Zebu Yellow, the feeding time, and the sex of the experimental mice.

Antioxidant

Zebu Yellow is an excellent photoprotectant and antioxidant.

From a large number of clinical trials, it has been shown that the combination of Zebu Yellow and β-carotene is much better than β-carotene alone for the treatment of patients with hematopoietic protoporphyrin (EPP) and complex light diseases (PMLE).

The intake of Zebu Yellow enhances the activities of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, etc., and efficiently regulates the balance of oxidative-antioxidant system in organisms, thus inhibiting cholesterol-induced oxidative stress.

Protecting bone health and Zanthoxylum can effectively defend and reduce oxidative damage to osteoblasts, which in turn protects osteoblast proliferation by quenching free radicals and promotes the process of bone formation. Studies have found that Zanthoxylum can effectively enhance osteoblast proliferation and alleviate differentiation, suggesting that it may be involved in bone metabolism related to the regulation of activities.

Coupled with its strong antioxidant capacity, it may have some preventive or adjuvant therapeutic significance for senile osteoporosis.

Function of Bulk Canthaxanthin Powder.

Zanthoxylum is a non-vitamin A source of carotenoids, its chemical structure consists of four isoprene units linked by a conjugated double bond type, and two isoprene units at both ends of the six-membered ring structure, in the six-membered ring structure of the C4, C4'-position contains oxygen function group ketone group, Zanthoxylum can be used as a pigment applied in the coloring of the animal and cosmetics, in addition, its in the body of the animal has a variety of physiological functions.
