Fucoxanthin is present in [[brown seaweed]]s and [[diatom]]s and was first isolated from ''[[Fucus]]'', ''[[Dictyota]]'', and ''[[Laminaria]]'' by Willstätter and Page in 1914.<ref name="peng">{{cite journal | vauthors = Peng J, Yuan JP, Wu CF, Wang JH | title = Fucoxanthin, a marine carotenoid present in brown seaweeds and diatoms: metabolism and bioactivities relevant to human health | journal = Marine Drugs | volume = 9 | issue = 10 | pages = 1806–28 | date = 2011-10-10 | pmid = 22072997 | pmc = 3210606 | doi = 10.3390/md9101806 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Seaweeds are commonly consumed in south-east Asia and certain countries in Europe, while diatoms are single-cell planktonic microalgae characterized by a golden-brown color, due to their high content of fucoxanthin. Generally, diatoms contain up to four times more fucoxanthin than seaweed, making diatoms a viable source for fucoxanthin industrially.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Wang LJ, Fan Y, Parsons RL, Hu GR, Zhang PY, Li FL | title = A Rapid Method for the Determination of Fucoxanthin in Diatom | journal = Marine Drugs | volume = 16 | issue = 1 | pages = 33 | date = January 2018 | pmid = 29361768 | pmc = 5793081 | doi = 10.3390/md16010033 | doi-access = free }}</ref>  Diatoms can be grown in controlled environments (such as [[photobioreactor]]s).
