OEL Fastrac Catalog

Fucoxanthin, which belongs to the xanthophyll class of carotenoids, is a natural antioxidant pigment of marine algae, including brown macroalgae (seaweed) and diatoms. It is a secondary metabolite produced in brown seaweed chloroplast. Fucoxanthin represents 10% of the total natural production of carotenoids. A few brown seaweeds containing fucoxanthin are edible macroalgae in Southeast Asia and certain European nations. Among them, Undaria pinnatifida (also known as wakame), Laminaria species (also known as konbu or kombu), and hijiki (also known as hiziki) are among the most common seaweeds used as a source of food. The term “kelp” is commonly used when referring to brown algae. Kelp are large brown algae that mainly belong to the order Laminariales.
