Increasing Demand for Animal Feeds to Bolster the Canthaxanthin Industry
The growth of the carotenoid market is substantial to the growth of the canthaxanthin industry. Carotenoids are a class of pigments responsible for the production of bright yellow, red, and orange colours in plants, vegetables, and fruits. Canthaxanthin, a keto carotenoid, is most widely used as an animal additive, a key ingredient for aqua-feed and pets. When supplemented in poultry feed, it not only provides yolks a good pigmentation but also improves the bird's health and increases the life of the egg. Moreover, it reduces carbon footprints and increases sustainability.
Besides being an effective food colour agent, canthaxanthin is also attributed with nutraceutical importance. It has also been a food additive and cosmetic colourant. The rising demand for dietary supplicants in various developed countries such as Japan, South Korea, the United States, Russia, Canada, and Germany, among others, also aids the growth of the market. It also functions as a skin tone enhancement and reduces photosensitivity caused by various diseases, medications, and other conditions. It is used in the treatment of several skin problems, such as melasma, pigmentation disorder, vitiligo, skin lesions, and carotenemia, among others. The extensive oral use of canthaxanthin, however, can lead to various adverse effects on humans, such as blood disorders and partial blindness. However, the pigment, if supplemented moderately, is determined safe for use as an additive for animal feeds by Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition and Scientific Committee on Food. The rising demand for skin treatments is aiding the market growth of canthaxanthin.
