Products Introduction

Basic information

Canthaxanthin, also known as β, β-Carotene-4, 4'-dione, is a very important member in carotenoid family. It is a kind of purplish red crystal or crystalline powder. Canthaxanthin is insoluble in water, ethanol and other polar solvents, slightly soluble in oil, dichloromethane, etc. which could be found in some mushrooms, crustaceans, fish, algae, eggs, blood, liver, etc.

Edges of ESSENTION

Esseention red? is prepared by our patented microencapsulation technology, with the edge of superior storage and processing stability. The stability creates the prerequisite for scientific additives, making the formula more accurate and controllable.

Superior bioavailability. Nanoscale superfine technology helps the high dispersion of the active substances in Esseention red? particles. In this way, our product is able to improve the bioavailability and reduce the waste by increasing the absorption and utilization of the active ingredients in animals.

Good physical performance. Microcapsule products with good particle distribution and dispersion makes it easy to be mixed evenly in premix and feed additives, which even allows small-scale business owners to operate themselves with more flexibility since it is soluble in cold water.

Ethoxyquin-free, non-animal-based raw material, non-GMO, available on the global market.

Customer tailor for diversified dosage forms and packaging.

Degree of pigmentation

pigmentation - Meeting consumers’ expectation of quality
One of the most important factors to be considered in the pigmentation process is the source of carotenoids. The different sources of carotenoids have an impact on the availability, stability, color, absorption rate, transfer rate and deposition rate of animal target tissues. Since poultry cannot synthesize carotenoids on their own, it is crucial to provide the right type and combination of carotenoids through feed additives to obtain the desired egg color and maintain its uniformity.
