Pigment Source
Differentiation
ADM Ecotone® Phaffia astaxanthin is distinctly different
from other commercial pigment sources and can be
traced back in the filets of fish fed with this product.
This is important for producers adhering to natural
and/or organic production schemes. Producers can
prove the use of the correct pigment source in the
final product.
ADM Ecotone Phaffia astaxanthin, like synthetic
astaxanthin sources, exhibits 100% free, non-esterified
astaxanthin, which is considered advantageous
because it is readily absorbable and must not be
hydrolyzed in the digestive tract of the fish. In contrast
to synthetic astaxanthin, ADM Ecotone Phaffia astaxanthin
also consists solely of the optical 3R, 3'R isomer,
an important astaxanthin source in nature. Finally, the
geometrical isomer, all-E, is higher in ADM Ecotone
Phaffia astaxanthin, as compared to synthetic sources.
This contributes to greater efficacy because the all-E
(trans) isomer has greater bioavailability than the
cis isomer.

Stability of ADM Ecotone®
Phaffia Astaxanthin
in Feeds
Because astaxanthin is known to be very sensitive to
oxidization, a comparative study was performed using
ADM Ecotone® Phaffia astaxanthin and synthetic
astaxanthin as pigment sources in salmon feed. Three
supplementation levels were tested: 40, 55, and 70
ppm. All diets were extruded and the pellets subjected
to an accelerated storage test in a laboratory climate
chamber (temperature 27° ±2° C, relative humidity
80% ±5%, open bags).
Astaxanthin recoveries, after extrusion in dried and
oil-coated pellets, were 91-95% for ADM Ecotone
Phaffia astaxanthin and 89-98% for synthetic astaxanthin.
Storage losses occurred over time under the tested
conditions but were not significantly different
between the tested products. The astaxanthin inclusion
level had no effect on process or storage stability.
No significant difference could be determined between
ADM Ecotone Phaffia astaxanthin and synthetic astaxanthin
in terms of processing and storage of fish feeds.
Stability of ADM Ecotone®
Phaffia Astaxanthin in
Filets and Processing
Studies in Chile have confirmed that the stability of
astaxanthin from ADM Ecotone Phaffia astaxanthin in
frozen filets and smoked, frozen filets does not differ
from synthetic astaxanthin sources. The same holds
true for the water-retaining properties of the filets.
A leading fish processor in the E.U. has confirmed
these results with a large processing trial. In this trial,
the stability of ADM Ecotone Phaffia astaxanthin and
synthetic astaxanthin was evaluated at the critical
processing steps, as shown in the below table. At each
critical step, there was no difference between the two
pigment sources.
