Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid derived from brown algae. It has multiple biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory. It is a functional ingredient that has attracted much attention in recent years and is widely used in health care products, medicine and cosmetics.
Chemical name: Fucoxanthin CAS number: 3351-86-4 Molecular formula: C42H58O6 Molecular weight: 658.91 g/mol Appearance: Orange-red to brown crystalline powder Solubility: Fat soluble (soluble in ethanol, chloroform, oil), almost insoluble in water. Partially soluble in alkaline solution (solubilizer required). Source: Natural extraction: brown algae (such as wakame, kelp, sargassum), microalgae (such as diatoms). Stability: Sensitive to light and heat (it is recommended to avoid light and store at low temperature), and antioxidants (such as vitamin E) need to be added to prevent degradation. |
