CAROTENOIDS
Colours are widely present in the animal kingdom, playing an important biological role and are linked to the presence of Carotenoids. Carotenoids have always been part of the daily diet of animals and humans. With the development of optimized animal nutrition, the industry created tools to formulate their feed at the best costs to provide animals with required nutrients. Carotenoids are included in the feed as part of the nutrients that support animal health, as well as product quality.
CANTHAPLUS 10%
Canthaplus 10% is the product of choice for the feed industry. The high purity canthaxanthin is finely emulsified with antioxidants and dispersed carefully in a protective matrix.
The revolutionary fine emulsion of canthaxanthin allows an optimum absorption of the carotenoids in the digestive tract resulting in a higher deposition rate of canthaxanthin in target sites. The product is manufactured by the spray-dried coating technology and the use of antioxidants protects the conjugated double bond structure of the canthaxanthin molecule from oxidative decomposition when exposed to air, heat and humidity and gives superior stability properties.
The protective matrix is based on GMO free polysaccharides and provides full protection against physical constrains occurring with high-speed mixer or during pelleting or extruding of feed. Canthaplus 10% can disperse in water and is good for post pelleting or post extrusion applications.
