Natural Mixed Carotenoids found in Dunaliella salina are among nature's best antioxidants.
Dunaliella salina is grown on an intensive scale by Parry in its state-of-art microalgal facility in Oonaiyur. The cultivation and extraction is done carefully to maintain the high Cis–Trans ratio of Beta-carotene.
The cultivation, harvesting and extraction of the carotenoids into edible oil suspension are carried out under rigorously controlled conditions, to maintain high product quality and consistency. Even the edible oil used contains natural mixed tocopherols to improve the anti-oxidant properties and stability of the product.
The mixed carotenoid derived from Dunaliella comes in concentration upto 4% to 5% , extracted by using pure edible vegetable oil along with traces of Alpha-carotene, Zeaxanthin, Cryptoxanthin and Lutein. This is further processed into higher concentration oils and also into microencapsulated powder forms of DC (direct compression grade).
