Our Carophyll Red is a high-purity canthaxanthin-based feed coloring agent designed to enhance the natural color of animal products. Produced via crystalline purification and microencapsulation, it ensures uniform dispersion in feed and stable color expression in target tissues (egg yolks, skin, flesh). Ideal for poultry, aquaculture, and livestock producers seeking to meet consumer preferences for vibrant, naturally appearing products.
Precise Color Control: ≥10% canthaxanthin (HPLC-verified) delivers consistent Roche Color Fan values (8-12 for egg yolks, 20-25 for salmon flesh).
Superior Stability: Withstands pelleting/extrusion (200°C processing) without degradation; non-reactive with feed components.
Easy Application: Free-flowing powder (low dust) disperses uniformly in mash/pelleted feed (mixing time <5 mins).
Global Compliance: Meets EU 1831/2003, FDA 21 CFR 73.185, and China GB 7300 standards; GRAS-certified for food-producing animals.
| Benefit | Mechanism/Data | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Enhanced Egg Yolk Color | Canthaxanthin deposits in yolk (↑Roche value to 10-12, Poult Sci, 2022); meets consumer preference for golden yolks | Layer hen feed (50-100g/ton) |
| Vibrant Poultry Skin | Accumulates in skin/feet (↑color score by 30% vs. control, J Appl Poult Res, 2023); improves marketability | Broiler/duck feed (80-120g/ton) |
| Salmon/Crustacean Pigmentation | Boosts flesh color (↑astaxanthin-like hue in salmon, Aquaculture, 2022); enhances shrimp shell vibrancy | Salmon/aquafeed (100-150g/ton) |
| Cost-Effective Coloring | High potency (10% canthaxanthin) reduces dosage vs. lower-grade alternatives (saves 20% feed cost) | Large-scale feed mills |
