Neptune Technologies & Bioressources, Laval, Quebec, Canada, through its re­search program, recently made the crucial discovery of a flavonoid with a novel molecular structure. This molecule was found to be attached to the phospholipids derived from an emulsion extracted from krill with the proprietary Neptune OceanExtract™ extraction process, for which a U.S. patent application has been applied. The company’s flavonoid has the following characteristics that differentiate it from any other flavonoid: extracted from a marine and/or aquatic biomass (Krill); combined with and/or attached to the phospholipids extracted from the same biomass; new molecular structure, similar to 6,8-Di-C-glucosylluteolin, but with two or more glucose molecules and one aglycone; more and stronger double bonds and hydroxyl (OH) groups, therefore more potent antioxidant activity.
