背景技術 Background art
[0002] 従来、タイ、ェビ、力-などの体表の色調改善、サケ、マスなどの体色改善、又は鶏 卵の卵黄の色調改善のために、飼料中に体色改善乃至色調改善剤を配合すること が行われている。 [0002] Conventionally, to improve body color such as Thai, shrimp, and power, improve body color such as salmon and trout, or improve egg yolk color tone, improve body color or color tone in feed Ingredients are being formulated.
体色改善乃至色調改善剤として、天然ではパプリカ、マリーゴールドといった植物 由来の色素、またスピリルナ、へマトコッカス、ファフィァ、パラコッカスといった微生物 由来の色素、合成品ではァスタキサンチン、カンタキサンチン、 β アポ 8'—力口 チン酸ェチルエステルなどが知られて 、る。 As a body color improver or color improver, natural pigments derived from plants such as paprika and marigold, and pigments derived from microorganisms such as spirilna, hematococcus, fafia, paracoccus, and synthetic compounds, istaxanthin, canthaxanthin, β apo 8 ' —Rikiguchi Ethyl cinnamate is known.
[0003] 一般に、これらのカロチノイド色素はかなり不安定であり、飼料置き場の一般的な環 境である高温 ·高湿条件下では、含有するカロチノイド色素の量が保存期間の経過と 共に低下することが知られて 、る。 [0003] Generally, these carotenoid pigments are quite unstable, and the amount of carotenoid pigments contained decreases with the passage of storage period under the high temperature and high humidity conditions that are the general environment for feed storage. Is known.

Also Asco Rubinic acid and citrate have problems when used as stabilizers for carotenoid pigments that are less effective (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0006] 一方、これらのカロチノイド色素の分解が、空気中の酸素による酸ィ匕分解であること に着目し、脱酸素剤とともに酸素非透過性の包装材料にて密封する方法が開発され ている (例えば、特許文献 2参照)が、開封後或いは飼料との混合後の安定性は十分 でなぐ更なる改善が必要である。 [0006] On the other hand, focusing on the fact that decomposition of these carotenoid pigments is due to oxygen decomposition in the air, a method of sealing with an oxygen-impermeable packaging material together with an oxygen scavenger has been developed. (For example, see Patent Document 2) However, the stability after opening or mixing with feed is not sufficient, and further improvement is necessary.
