Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid found widely in marine organisms such as shrimp, crabs, fish, and algae. As a potent antioxidant, astaxanthin exhibits unique biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-regulatory, cardiovascular protection, and antitumor effects. Research indicates that astaxanthin intake can significantly enhance the body's antioxidant capacity, reduce free radical damage, and lower the risk of various chronic diseases. Therefore, the quantitative and qualitative analysis of astaxanthin is crucial in food science, nutrition, and clinical research.
