ZEAXANTHIN DIEPOXIDE - Introduction
VIOLAXANTHIN is a natural product that belongs to the class of carotenoid compounds. It is a widespread yellow pigment in plants, especially in chloroplasts. VIOLAXANTHIN is a fat-soluble molecule that has the ability to absorb ultraviolet and blue light and reflect yellow light, thus appearing yellow.
VIOLAXANTHIN is mainly used as a food and feed additive. It can be used as a pigment to increase the color of food and feed and improve the visual effect. In addition, VIOLAXANTHIN is also used in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and health supplements.
VIOLAXANTHIN can be extracted from plants or obtained by chemical synthesis. The extraction of VIOLAXANTHIN from plants usually involves the steps of leaching, solvent extraction and chromatography. Chemical synthesis typically employs synthetic precursor molecules that react under appropriate conditions to produce VIOLAXANTHIN.
Regarding safety information, VIOLAXANTHIN is generally considered a safe food additive. Several studies have confirmed that VIOLAXANTHIN has no significant toxicity or side effects at the recommended doses. However, excessive intake can also cause yellow deposits to appear on the skin. If VIOLAXANTHIN is used as a pharmaceutical or cosmetic ingredient, it is recommended to follow the relevant guidelines for use and dosing instructions to ensure safety. If there is any discomfort or severe allergic reaction, immediately discontinue use and consult a doctor.
