• Description: Decapreno-b-carotene is a carotenoid extracted from the oil of the seeds of the plant, Schizochytrium limacinum. This product has been shown to be an effective antioxidant that can protect cells against oxidative damage. The high-performance liquid chromatography technique was used for quantification and separation. The extract was then injected onto a high performance liquid chromatograph, which separates it according to its chemical properties. Decapreno-b-carotene is found in almost all organisms and is a precursor for vitamin A production in animals.
