Astaxanthin is a deep red pigment classified within the carotenoid family of compounds. It is naturally produced by specific microalgae and is responsible for the pink or reddish hues found in salmon, trout, lobster, shrimp, and various other marine species.

Available as a powder, astaxanthin serves as a natural dietary ingredient and is also widely utilized as a nutritional supplement. This supplement is formulated for use in human nutrition, animal feed, and aquaculture applications.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized astaxanthin as a color additive for targeted applications in animal and fish feed. In the European Union, it is recognized as a food coloring agent and assigned the E number E161j. Natural astaxanthin is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, though its approval as a food colorant in the United States is limited exclusively to animal feed.
