Hefei Fushan Yuansheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a supplier of Astaxanthin Oleoresin, a high-quality, concentrated dark red oil derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. We provide 5% and 10% active astaxanthin in standardised quantities providing outstanding purity and stability in your compositions.
We are able to provide the consistent quality for nutraceutical, cosmetic, and functional food applications across the world with an annual production capacity of 100 tonnes and complete FSSC22000, HACCP, HALAL and Kosher certifications. We have a unique extraction procedure that breaks down the cell walls to provide high purity oleoresin with good flow properties and very little solvent residuals. Every batch is tested for potency by HPLC and conforms to international safety requirements. Product from our plant has better molecular stability than the synthetic ones, your reliable raw material partner.

Astaxanthin Oleoresin is the most bioavailable form of natural astaxanthin nowadays. Our targeted oil format overcomes critical industry challenges like poor absorption, oxidative degradation and transportation inefficiencies, unlike the raw algae biomass.
Our extraction process retains the natural ester forms of astaxanthin, which are mostly monoesterified and diesterified forms. These structures are very resistant to the oxygen of the atmosphere and to the heat. You have a stable, lipid-soluble chemical that you can put directly into softgels, carrier oil blends and lipid-based delivery methods.
This rich red colour implies a high abundance of carotenoids. Our manufacture is under stringent quality norms to retain the antioxidant efficacy over the shelf life of 24 months. Every container is accompanied by full traceability paperwork from farm to final packing.

Our innovative pre-treatment process provides industry leading purity and uniformity. We grow Haematococcus pluvialis in closed glass pipeline systems with clean water and no contamination by external contaminants.
The cell wall breaking extraction process has a high recovery of astaxanthin with the retention of molecular integrity. Processing does not add any other ingredients. This improves the fluidity of the oleoresin and makes it simpler to handle in the formulation stage.
Low residual solvent levels fulfil the strict USP <467> criteria. Your finished products are compliant with regulations in multiple markets and deliver clean-label benefits. Extraction is performed at regulated temperatures to maintain the fragile ester linkages that define the biological activity.

Demonstrated success in many industrial sectors: Astaxanthin Oleoresin
Dietary Supplements: The gold standard in softgel encapsulation. Our oleoresin is best with MCT oil, flaxseed oil or other lipid carriers. It is stable when exposed to stomach acid, providing strong antioxidant protection for formulations for ocular and cardiovascular health.
Cosmetic Formulations: Astaxanthin’s photoprotective capabilities make it a valuable ingredient for high-end anti-aging serums and sun protection solutions. The oleoresin acts as a neutraliser of reactive oxygen species created by UV radiation. Our stabilised product emulsifies well into creams and lotions even with pigment intensity issues.
Functional Foods: Pigmentation and health advantages for fortified oils, aquaculture feed and pet nutrition products. Our product is stable throughout high pressure extrusion methods used in the manufacture of speciality feeds.
Food Colourants Natural red pigmentation for beverages, confectionery and processed food. The high colour power minimises the need for dose than other natural colourants.
Every batch is tested rigorously before release. Our Quality control system employs HPLC content analysis to validate the correctness of labelled concentration. Heavy metal screening is closely monitored: Lead <0.5ppm, Arsenic <0.2ppm, equivalent restrictions for Cadmium and Mercury.
Microbiological Profiling Total Plate Count, Yeast/Mold, E. coli, Salmonella. Oxidative stability was confirmed by monitoring the peroxide value which was below 5.0 meq/kg Shelf life experiments, run at an accelerated pace, indicate that the product is stable for 24 months under the specified storage conditions.
Traceability is total from the seed growing to the final packing. You get full documentation of the cultivation batch, date of extraction, testing findings and storage conditions. This openness aids your regulatory filings, quality audits.
We understand that your formulation needs vary by application. Our technical team provides comprehensive support beyond raw material supply:
Content Customization: While 5% and 10% concentrations are standard, we accommodate other specifications based on your requirements. Our 3-7 day rapid response system ensures quick turnaround for custom orders.
Formulation Assistance: Receive guidance on dosage levels, carrier oil selection, and multi-dosage form adaptation. We help you optimize product performance in tablets, capsules, liquids, and topical applications.
Emulsification Solutions: For water-based beverages, we can develop cold-water-dispersible powder or stable emulsion systems that maintain astaxanthin bioactivity.
Blending Recommendations: Our scientists assist with ingredient compatibility testing and stability studies when combining astaxanthin with other functional ingredients.
Q:What are the main applications for product?
A:The product excels in health supplements, functional foods, natural colorants, cosmetic ingredients, aquaculture feed, and premium pet nutrition formulations.
Q:Do you support custom concentration levels?
A:Yes, we provide tailored solutions beyond our standard 5% and 10% offerings. Our established rapid response system delivers custom specifications within 3-7 days.
Q:Can you help with formulation development?
A:Absolutely. We customize content levels, delivery formats, and blending protocols based on your specific needs. This includes dosage guidance, carrier selection, and multi-format adaptation plans.
Q:How should the product be stored?
A:Store unopened containers below 5°C, protected from light and oxygen. Nitrogen flushing helps prevent oxidation and extends shelf life.
Q:How do you verify natural versus synthetic astaxanthin?
A:Our HPLC analysis confirms the (3S, 3'S) isomer profile characteristic of natural sources. Natural oleoresin contains esterified forms, while synthetic versions present as racemic mixtures in non-esterified states.
