Lutein is made from the flowers of Marigold, a plant in the composite family, by extraction and refining. It comes in crystal, powder and emulsion states. The crystal state is orange yellow to orange red crystalline powder, melting point is 183°, soluble in oil, ethanol and acetone; When it is powder, it is orange yellow to orange red, easily soluble in water, when it is emulsion, it is brown yellow or dark red liquid, easily soluble in water, this product is suitable for the beverage industry, without oil slick, staining and precipitation and other problems, with good stability, light resistance, heat resistance, acid resistance and other characteristics. In addition, it can also be used in pasta products, frozen drinks, jams, confectionery, baked goods and jellies.

In the field of health food, lutein also has many benefits. It filters blue light, relieves eye strain, prevents age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and has antioxidant properties that inhibit subretinal fibrosis.


In the field of filtering blue light and preventing age-related macular degeneration: the damage of light to the retina depends on the wavelength, intensity and irradiation time of the light, the blue light wavelength is 400 ~ 500nm, which is the highest energy of all visible light that can reach the retina, and the damage to the retina is especially obvious. Lutein and zeaxanthin can absorb blue light at 445nm. Because the main components of macular pigments are lutein and zeaxanthin, macular is able to filter out blue light and reduce its impact on photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelial cells, and the choroidal vascular layer.


Lutein in the field of antioxidant: Oxygen free radicals in the human body are an important cause of many age-related lesions. Lutein has a strong antioxidant capacity, which can inhibit the activity of oxygen free radicals and prevent the destruction of normal cells by oxygen free radicals.


With the deepening of people's cognition of lutein and the continuous innovation of ZhongDA Hengyuan technical team, it is believed that more application fields of lutein will be continuously explored.
