Description
Lutein, derived from marigold extract, is an important carotenoid often found in nature alongside zeaxanthin. It constitutes a primary component of plant pigments in corn, vegetables, fruits, and flowers, and is also a key pigment in the macular region of the human retina. Lutein absorbs blue light, giving it a yellow hue at low concentrations and an orange-red hue at high concentrations. The product is available as an orange-yellow powder with various specifications for lutein and zeaxanthin content ranging from 5% to 90%. Lutein is insoluble in water and propylene glycol but slightly soluble in oil and n-hexane, which is important for formulation considerations. It possesses a high degree of safety and is non-toxic, allowing its use in food products. FDA, ISO, Kosher, and Halal certifications confirm its quality. A shelf life of 2 years ensures extended storage.
