Abstract / Bemerkung
Astaxanthin, a highly valuable natural pigment with potent antioxidant properties, is
widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The demand for
astaxanthin has led to the development of multiple production methods, including algal, bacterial, and
synthetic approaches. Understanding the environmental implications of these production processes
is crucial for sustainable decision-making in the astaxanthin industry. This research paper presents a
comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) comparing the environmental impacts of algal, bacterial,
and synthetic astaxanthin production methods. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is conducted, focusing
on the source of energy used during production, and the shift from conventional to renewable energy
sources is explored. The environmental importance of natural astaxanthin production is highlighted,
considering the potential benefits of reducing dependence on synthetic production methods that rely
on non-renewable resources. The results of the LCA, for the production of 1 g astaxanthin, reveal the
relative environmental performance of each production process, identifying hotspots and potential
areas for improvement. On average, the environmental impacts indicate that chemical synthesis is
the best solution for the production of the pigment, followed by the bacterial extraction process and
lastly by algae extraction. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis demonstrates the significant influence
of energy sources on the overall environmental footprint. Shifting towards renewable energy sources
presents an opportunity for mitigating environmental impacts and enhancing the sustainability of
astaxanthin production.
