It also has health benefits. The natural form of astaxanthin is more active due to the esterified hydroxyl groups and has a higher bioavailability than synthetic astaxanthin. The natural form is usually produced by microalgae. These use sunlight and CO\u2082.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row intro\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-2 col-lg-8\" style=\"margin-left: 133px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"patent-download\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"left-arrow\"><i class=\"bi-arrow-left\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"download-btn green\" href=\"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/patents\/exposee-35\/3522_process-to-produce-natural-astaxanthin-without-cell-harvesting.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" download=\"3522_process-to-produce-natural-astaxanthin-without-cell-harvesting.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload exposee\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"main-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row intro patent-details\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-2 col-lg-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Department<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBiology\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Subject area<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApplied-Plant Science\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Patent number<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDE102024107817\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Contact person<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDr. Simon Greulich\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:simon.greulich@tu-darmstadt.de\">simon.greulich@tu-darmstadt.de<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"tel:simon.greulich@tu-darmstadt.de\">+49 6151 16-22252<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/patents\/exposee-35\/thumb-10.png\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"main-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row intro\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-2 col-lg-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownloads\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe expos\u00e9 is available to download here as a PDF.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"main-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row intro\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-2 col-lg-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"docus col-lg-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"docu\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"preview\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<embed src=\"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/patents\/exposee-35\/3522_process-to-produce-natural-astaxanthin-without-cell-harvesting.pdf\" alt=\"Process to produce natural  astaxanthin without cell  harvesting\" style=\"height: 240px;

Although such strains already exist, their use is very laborious. It requires harvesting the cells and then extracting the astaxanthin from the biomass. Our development largely eliminates these steps. Using a membrane transporter, the microalgae release the produced astaxanthin directly into the culture medium. The cultures are then coated with an organic solvent for extraction. The organic solvent can then simply be evaporated, which then leaves astaxanthin as a powder.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid tags\">\n\t\t<div class=\"main-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row intro\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-2 col-lg-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":36796,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-37600","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37600"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37600\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37602,"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37600\/revisions\/37602"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/36796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/highest-darmstadt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
