A metabolic driver with important functions in skin, foot and hoof health
DSM adds an innovative technology in its toolbox for color measurement. The digital SalmoFan™ is a portable and user-friendly color sensor device developed for the salmon industry for precise digital color measurement of salmon fillets.
Consumers relate yolk color with nutritional value and the welfare of the hen. They are correct; a golden yolk always comes from a healthy hen. To deliver the product the customers want, a yolk pigmentation program must be established including good health, nutrition and the right level of carotenoids.
Folic acid is the synthetic form of the naturally occurring folates and tetrahydrofolic (THF) acid is the eactive form. The synthesis of both DNA and RNA depend on folic acid and folate coenzymes play an important role in the metabolism of several aminoacids. Folate deficiency during pregnancy can cause severe consequences in the fetus.
The two forms of niacin or vitamin B3, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, are functional parts of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), involved in the cellular respiration processes.

The SalmoFan™ color measurement scale by DSM is recognized as the industry standard across the world for measuring salmon fillet color. We have developed a range of color measurement tools adapted to the needs of the industry from feed producers to retailers.
Color is an important quality criteria for shrimp. Higher color more uniform color of cooked shrimp deliver premium products to the consumer. Astaxanthin is the most abundant pigment in most crustaceans, it is not produced by de novo synthesis and shrimp must acquire astaxanthin through their diet. Shrimp can bio-convert canthaxanthin and beta-carotene to astaxanthin, but this process is energy demanding since both canthaxanthin and beta-carotene are less efficient pigments in shrimp. Pigments are required for optimum nutrition of shrimp (anti-oxidant function, pigmentation and colour, photoprotection, pro-vitamin A). The ShrimpFan™ color measurement scale by DSM is the new industry tool for measuring shrimp color. At DSM, we have developed a range of color measurement tools adapted to the needs of the industry from feed producers to retailers. The ShrimpFan™ offers a simple, accurate and consistent mean of measuring the color of shrimp.
Essential for vision, reproduction, immunity and growth
Thiamine was the firts vitamin to be identified in 1912. Thiamine as coenzyme is involved in more than 20 enzymatic reactions and plays a critical role in the production of energy from food in the carbohydrate metabolism. It is also a linking factor between carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Thiamine recommendations increase when the main energy source supplied by the feed is carbohydrate.
Vitamin B12 is a coenzyme in intermediate metabolism. However its main known functionality is its role in blood cell formation and the ability to prevent certain forms of anaemia and neurological disturbancies.
Primarily vitamin B2 is involved in energy metabolism, catalysing the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. It is also involved in both protein ad fat metabolism. Moreover riboflavin can fight free radicals, hence preventing the damages on cells and DNA they can cause.
Vitamin B6 serves as coenzyme in more than 100 enzymes catalysing biochemical reaction in the body. Like other B vitamins is essential for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Piridoxine is also pillar for the conversion of the aminoacid tryptophan into niacin as well as in the conversion of tryptophan into serotonine in the brain, an important neurotransmitter.
The term vitamin C includes compounds with L-ascorbic acid activity. The functions of ascorbic acid are related to its redox properties, it is a cofactor and protector of different enzymes, it is involved in the reduction of trace minerals and acts as an antioxidant.
