Citranaxanthin

Description:

Citranaxanthin, with the CAS number 3604-90-8, is a carotenoid pigment primarily found in certain algae and plants. It is characterized by its vibrant yellow to orange color, which is a result of its conjugated double bond system that allows for light absorption in the visible spectrum. This compound is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress. Citranaxanthin is also of interest in the food and cosmetic industries due to its potential as a natural colorant. In terms of solubility, it is generally soluble in organic solvents but less so in water, which is typical for many carotenoids. Its stability can be affected by factors such as light, heat, and oxygen, necessitating careful handling and storage to maintain its integrity. Additionally, citranaxanthin may play a role in photosynthesis and has been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects.

Citranaxanthin

CAS: 3604-90-8

Citranaxanthin is a carotenoid feed additive, which is a naturally occurring pigment found in certain plants and microorganisms. Its primary mode of action is through deposition into the tissues of animals, particularly in the egg yolks of poultry, where it enhances color. This enhancement occurs as citranaxanthin integrates into the lipid structures, contributing to a deeper yellow or orange hue due to its strong pigmenting properties.
