Neotron performs the analysis of Astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis using HPLC-DAD technique.
Astaxanthin is a substance naturally present in some algae with the ability to protect cells from damage associated with oxidation.
Considering this property, it has recently acquired great importance in the prevention and management of different disease states. For this reason, Astaxanthin supplements have become widespread on the market, capable of facilitating its intake without resorting to the consumption of large quantities of fatty fish.
The use of the novel food in food supplements containing astaxanthin levels of up to 8 mg, was limited to adults and older adolescents at 14 years old. The change was based on the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.
