Description
Astaxanthin monopalmitate (Astaxanthin palmitate) is an esterified form of astaxanthin, a type of carotenoid. Upon degradation, Astaxanthin monopalmitate yields a mixture of free and palmitate apo-astaxanthins. Carotenoids possess significant biological activity and may play roles in regulating cell differentiation, growth control, photoprotection, membrane stability, photosynthesis, vision, and nutrition.
