Sumario:"Global Perspectives on Astaxanthin: From Industrial Production to Food, Health, and Pharmaceutical Applications explores the range of practical applications for this molecule, focusing on nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical products as well as food and feed. Astaxanthin is a ketocarotenoid that is in high demand for its biological properties, but until now, the relevant literature has been scattered. This volume brings together the most relevant research, background, and future thinking on astaxanthin, especially focusing on its health benefits. The chapters cover diverse areas including phytopharmaceuticals, industrial production, feed, downstream processing, regulations, products, color, pigment, cosmetics, bioactive compounds, relation to other carotenoids, and skin care. The detailed information on the production, processing, utilization, and future applications of astaxanthin will be of use to academic and industry researchers in pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacology, and nutrition"--Page 4 of cover.
