Description
Jafar Aghajani and co-authors review how to make more astaxanthin, a red pigment prized in health, drug, cosmetic, and fish farming markets. Natural astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus beats the synthetic kind on safety and uptake, but farms get low yields under normal growing methods. Their 2026 review covers progress from 2020 to 2025.
The team weighs classic tricks such as two-phase growing and stress induction against newer ones. Gene editing, electric methods, and nano-scale stress agents all get a critical look. They also treat the alga as a biorefinery feedstock, not a one-product crop. Algae producers get a candid map of which hyper-production routes look ready and which still need proof.
