Aquasta ® is Astaxanthin Partners Ltd's trade name for its inactivated dried yeast product made from the organism Phaffia rhodozyma. Aquasta® provides a natural source of the pigment astaxanthin, which imparts the characteristic red color to the flesh of salmon, trout, and other aquatic species. Astaxanthin Partners Ltd's yeast is specially formulated to maximize bioavailability of the pigment.APPLICATION Aquasta ® is a free-flowing granular powder that can be readily blended with other feed ingredients to meet formulator's specifications. Aquasta® is available with different concentrations of astaxanthin and this has to be considered to calculate the appropriate inclusion rate. For example, if the astaxanthin content is 10,000ppm, and the target is to obtain 60 mg/kg astaxanthin in the feed, 6 kg of Aquasta® should be incorporated per tonne of feed.This product is for use as a coloring agent in fish feeds at a rate not to exceed 100 mg/kg astaxanthin in the feed.
