Our shrimps come from the purest water of the ocean and a full climate of sun.  This full environment of nutritious elements combined with special processing that we offer, signifies that our shrimps arrive you perfect in flavor and texture.  The unique thing that will need are few culinary ingredients to highlight its natural flavor.

Its color, that varies since yellow pale, passing by orange, to dark red, is found directly related to its structure:  The links double carbon-carbon interact among itself in a process called conjugation.  While the number of double links enlarges, the length of wave of the light absorbed also does it, giving the product a more reddish appearance.  For example, the fitoeno that possesses only three double links conjugated absorbs light in the ultraviolet rank and appearing therefore colorless in sight, the licopeno, composed that its red color confers al tomato contains 11 double links conjugated.  They exist also carotenoids of green color (ζ-Caroteno), yellow (ß-Caroteno), and orange-like (neurosporaxantina).

In photosyntetics organisms the carotenoid play a vital role in the centers of reaction, whether participating in the energy transfer process, or protecting the center of reaction against the car-oxidation.  In the not photosyntetics organisms, the carotenoids have been linked to the mechanisms of prevention of the oxidation.

The animals are incapable to synthesize carotenoids and they should obtain them through their diet, being these important components for their biological function as Pre-Vitamin A.

As an example of these components in the nature we can cite the carotenoide better acquaintance than gives to the group its name, the caroten, found in carrots and responsible for its brilliant organge color.  The pink color of the flamingo and the salmon, and the red coloring of the lobsters are also produced by carotenoids.

Among the most important applications of the carotenoids we can mention its use as natural pigments as well as alimentary complement.
