β,β-Caroten-3-one, also known as canthaxanthin, is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment that belongs to the xanthophyll class. It is a red-colored, crystalline substance with the molecular formula C40H52O2. This chemical is widely found in nature, particularly in algae, crustaceans, and some plants. Canthaxanthin plays a crucial role in various biological processes, such as photosynthesis and photoprotection, and is also used as a food colorant and a dietary supplement for animals and humans. It is known for its antioxidant properties and is used in the prevention of certain diseases, such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Additionally, canthaxanthin is utilized in the aquaculture industry to enhance the coloration of farmed fish, such as salmon, to make them more visually appealing to consumers.

599-50-8 Usage
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 599-50-8 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,9 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively.Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 599-50:
(5*5)+(4*9)+(3*9)+(2*5)+(1*0)=98
98 % 10 = 8
So 599-50-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
