Carotenoids are used to colour food products of animal origin. In order to meet market needs and considering the inherent variations of the diets in terms of colouring agents, the feed industry adds colouring agents to salmonid feed (to colour the flesh), to laying hens diet (to modify the yolk pigmentation) and, in some areas, to chicken diet (to modify skin pigmentation). Canthaxanthin is one of the carotenoids authorised for use in animal feed as a colouring agent in poultry feeds and fish feeds in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC as E-161g.
Canthaplus 10% are free-flowing, granulated carotenoid products. They consist of small beadlets in which the carotenoid is finely distributed in a starch-encapsulated gelatine and carbohydratematrix to which antioxidants have been added. It contain approximately 100 000 such beadlets per gram. The special manufacturing process, known as “spray-dried coating”, protects the carotenoids against oxidation and gives them high stability, optimal distribution, outstanding mixing properties and very
good absorption characteristics.
