Biosynthesis: Safe and Reliable: Due to safety concerns, chemically synthesized astaxanthin is only permitted as a colorant in feed. In contrast, biosynthesized astaxanthin is allowed in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has prohibited the use of chemically synthesized astaxanthin in health food products.
Hesheng Technology's Multi-Strategy Integrated Process: For high-yield production of astaxanthin, Hesheng Technology leverages synthetic biology and metabolic engineering to construct de novo astaxanthin biosynthetic pathways in the oleaginous yeast. This process has successfully achieved efficient accumulation of astaxanthin. The astaxanthin produced by this yeast strain is exclusively in the left-handed (L-) configuration, which is the most biologically active form of astaxanthin.
