3-Hydroxy-β,β-caroten-4-one, also known as canthaxanthin, is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment that belongs to the xanthophyll class. It is a red-colored, crystalline compound with the molecular formula C40H52O2. Canthaxanthin is widely found in nature, particularly in algae, crustaceans, and certain fruits and vegetables. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by protecting plants from excessive light and is also known for its antioxidant properties. In addition to its natural sources, canthaxanthin is commercially synthesized and used as a food colorant, particularly in the poultry and aquaculture industries to enhance the color of egg yolks, skin, and flesh. It is also used as a dietary supplement for humans and animals due to its potential health benefits, such as supporting eye health and acting as an antioxidant.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 4339-77-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,3,3 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4339-77:
(6*4)+(5*3)+(4*3)+(3*9)+(2*7)+(1*7)=99
99 % 10 = 9
So 4339-77-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
