Astaxanthin is a keto-carotenoid . It belongs to a larger class of chemical compounds known as terpenes , which are built from five carbon precursors ; isopentenyl diphosphate ( or IPP ) and dimethylallyl diphosphate ( or DMAPP ). Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll ( originally derived from a word meaning " yellow leaves " since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids ), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygencontaining moities , hydroxyl ( -OH ) or ketone ( C = O ), such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin .

Indeed , astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and / or canthaxanthin , containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups . Like many carotenoids , astaxanthin is a colorful , lipid-soluble pigment . This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated ( alternating double and single ) double bonds at the centre of the compound . This chain of conjugated double bonds is also responsible for the antioxidant function of astaxanthin ( as well as other carotenoids ) as it results in a region of decentralized electrons that can be donated to reduce a reactive oxidizing molecule .
