Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of synthetic astaxanthin as feed additive for salmon and trout, other fish, ornamental fish, crustaceans and ornamental birds [PDF]
Astaxanthin is a pigmenting carotenoid occurring naturally in plankton, crustaceans and fish. The astaxanthin under assessment is of synthetic origin. The FEEDAP Panel considers synthetic astaxanthin safe for salmonids up to 100 mg/kg complete diet.

Reaction of Astaxanthin with Peroxynitrite [PDF]
The in vitro reactivities of astaxanthin toward peroxynitrite were investigated and the reaction products after scavenging with peroxynitrite were analyzed in order to determine the complete mechanism of this reaction. A series of carotenoids, 13-apo-astaxanthinone (1), 12'-apo-15'-nitroastaxanthinal (2), 12'-apo-astaxanthinal (3), 10'-apo ...
