Introduction of Canthaxanthin.

Canthaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in various plants, algae, and bacteria. It is also present in certain animals, such as crustaceans and fish, which obtain it through their diet. Carotenoids are a class of pigments responsible for the red, orange, and yellow colors in many fruits and vegetables.

Canthaxanthin is used in various applications, including:

Food Coloring: It is used as a food additive to impart a reddish or orange hue to products such as sausages, fish, and poultry. In the European Union, it is designated by the E number E161g.

Cosmetics: It is used in some cosmetic products to provide color.

Animal Feed: It is added to the feed of farmed fish, such as salmon and trout, to enhance their pink or red flesh color, which is more appealing to consumers. It is also used in poultry feed to deepen the color of egg yolks.

Tanning Pills: Canthaxanthin has been used in tanning pills to give the skin a tanned appearance. However, its use in this form has raised health concerns.

While canthaxanthin is generally considered safe when used in regulated amounts, excessive consumption, particularly through tanning pills, has been associated with potential health risks. These risks include canthaxanthin retinopathy, a condition where crystals form in the retina of the eye, potentially affecting vision. Therefore, its use is regulated by health authorities in many countries to ensure consumer safety.
