Product information
What is Lutein powder?
In plants, algae and other organisms in nature, there is a substance that humans and most animals cannot synthesize by themselves - carotenoids, and lutein is a type of carotenoid. Although there are more than 600 known carotenoids, only a small number can be absorbed and utilized by human tissues, including lutein. Lutein in a broad sense refers to carotenoids xanthophy II, which in turn includes lutein (Lutein) and its isomers zeaxanthin (Zeaxanthin) and meso-zeaxanthin (mesozeaxanthin) etc. Although their names are different, they all essentially belong to the xanthophyll class (xanthophy II), and they can be converted into each other and coexist in a certain proportion. The main industrial source of natural lutein is the extraction and saponification of lutein esters in marigold to obtain lutein monomers. Since most of lutein has an unsaturated structure, lutein has poor water solubility and stability, is easily degraded and inactivated, and has low oral bioavailability, which greatly affects its efficacy. Joyous has prepared water-soluble lutein for this purpose. 5% specification. And because 1g of lutein is equal to the value of 1g of gold, lutein has been given the reputation of "plant gold".

Applications and functions of lutein?
1. Prevent obesity-related diseases
Lutein can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes and play a lipid-lowering effect. Specifically, it inhibits the activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), a transcription factor responsible for activating adipocytes. Activation of PPARγ can downregulate the expression of inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α, LP, and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and induce the expression of adiponectin, an adipokine that sensitizes liver and muscle to insulin. It then regulates insulin sensitivity, intervenes in adipocyte differentiation, and exerts a lipid-lowering effect.
2. Improve visual function in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients and healthy people
Lutein is the main carotenoid in the macula of the retina. It can filter the blue light entering the retina of the human eye to a certain extent, effectively reducing visual damage. It also inhibits the activity of oxygen free radicals and prevents damage to visual cells by oxygen free radicals. The exact cause of AMD is not yet clear, but it may be related to factors such as genetics, long-term light damage, metabolic and nutritional dysfunction, etc. Supplementation of lutein and zeaxanthin can improve early functional abnormalities of the central retina in early AMD patients.
3. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy people
Lutein has good antioxidant capacity and can effectively inhibit the oxidative stress response in the process of atherosclerosis, thereby reducing the inflammatory response and reducing oxidative damage to tissue cells. Higher intakes of lutein, and higher levels of lutein in the blood or fat tissue, are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Slow down UV-induced skin damage in normal people
Lutein has the functions of antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibition, which can reduce erythema, aging, skin burns and even skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays on the skin.
5. Colorize egg yolks, poultry and chicken feed
Lutein has strong coloring power, which can increase the hatching of eggs and increase the reproductive rate of poultry. In many countries and regions around the world, especially consumers in the United States and many Asian countries, due to habits and psychological effects, most people prefer golden or orange-red egg yolks, golden-skinned poultry, soft red meat, and often choose from The color of the egg yolk determines the nutritional value and freshness of the egg. Based on experience, consumers regard yellow skin as a sign of broiler chicken with better meat quality and flavor, which directly affects the selling price of the product. Therefore, in the modern poultry industry, in order to meet the needs of the market, feed companies often add excessive amounts of synthetic commercial colorants to the feed, which not only greatly increases the cost, but is also detrimental to human health. Therefore, lutein is still a kind of food with no side effects. of natural pigments that color egg yolks, poultry and chicken feed. Because its safety and nutritional functions meet the needs of the market, it is widely used in feed coloring in various countries.
6. Anti-cancer function
Lutein is a carotenoid that has special physiological activity, can inhibit the growth of human tumors, and can resist various cancers, such as skin cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, etc.

Things to note during production:
oxygen:
Since lutein contains many unsaturated double bonds and both ionone rings have hydroxyl groups attached to them, the most common cause of lutein degradation is oxidation. During the drying process of fruits and vegetables, lutein is exposed to air and may oxidize, causing lutein to isomerize. Research has found that in addition to the most basic epoxidation and hydroxylation of lutein during processing, the direct cleavage of the lutein polyene chain will also form colorless small molecular compounds. At the same time, the biological activity of lutein will also be lost.
temperature:
Under heat treatment, the cell wall and cell membrane of spinach will be destroyed, causing lutein to dissolve, and the all-trans conformation will be partially converted into cis structure (9-cis and 13-cis lutein), and its stability will decrease, resulting in Degradation of lutein and reduced biological activity.
pH:
Under different pH conditions, lutein will produce different changes. At extreme pH values below 4.0 or above 8.0, lutein will undergo deesterification and cis/trans isomerization, resulting in the degradation of lutein, so lutein will Suitable for storage and reaction under neutral conditions.
illumination:
Light has an obvious degradation effect on lutein. This is because light accelerates the oxidation of the lutein molecular chain, and the chromophore degrades and breaks to form low molecular weight compounds, causing the lutein to lose its color. At the same time, the conjugated polyene chain of lutein is deprotonated, loses electrons, and the stability of lutein is reduced.

Extraction method of lutein:
At present, the main extraction methods of lutein include drying method, extraction method, microwave extraction method, leaching method, ultrasonic method, enzyme-assisted extraction method, etc.
Drying method:
A new type of rotary drum dryer is used to pound and dry marigolds and obtain lutein from them. When the hammering ratio is different, the hammering efficiency fluctuates between 70% and 90%. The amount of lutein depends on the length of drying time; under the same drying time, the lutein content obtained by drying at 60°C is higher than that at 70°C.
Extraction method:
Supercritical CO2 is used to extract lutein from marigold. The marigold flowers are fermented, dried, and crushed as raw materials. Ethanol is used as the entrainer. Supercritical CO2 is used to extract marigold extract. The marigold flower extract is processed through A method of saponifying potassium hydroxide to finally obtain water-soluble natural food pigment lutein resin. The lutein obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction method has no solvent residue, reducing the toxicity to the human body and environmental pollution during the extraction process. The use of CO2 gas is cheap, easy to obtain, non-toxic, safe, low cost and easy to separate. Easy and fast extraction. The extraction method has the advantages of simple process, low energy consumption, environmental protection, high product purity, positive color tone, good heat and light resistance, and stable color.
Microwave extraction method:
Microwave is an instantaneous penetrating heating method that breaks plant cell walls under the action of microwave field, thereby speeding up the extraction rate and effectively increasing the yield.
Leaching method:
The process mainly includes raw material pretreatment, crushing, leaching, filtration, concentration, drying, etc. The solvents used vary according to the pigments and raw materials. Tetrahydrofuran is generally used for treatment.
Ultrasonic method:
Ultrasonic waves can generate and transmit powerful energy. High-energy ultrasonic waves act on liquids. When the liquid is in a sparse state, the liquid will be torn into many small cavities. These cavities will close in an instant, and when closed, an instant high pressure will be generated. , which produces a cavitation effect. The extreme pressure generated by the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves causes the cell walls of the objects to be crushed and the entire organism to be broken, and the entire breaking process is completed in an instant. At the same time, the vibration generated by ultrasonic waves strengthens the release, diffusion and dissolution of intracellular substances, which is beneficial to the extraction of effective intracellular ingredients. The ultrasonic method can fully dissolve the lutein in marigold flowers, increase the dissolution rate, shorten the extraction time, have high extraction efficiency, avoid the impact of high temperature on the extracted components, save the consumption of solvents, and have gradually replaced the traditional extraction method. .
Enzyme-assisted extraction method:
The enzyme-assisted extraction method uses cellulase to treat cell walls with high lutein content, such as marigolds, to destroy the structure of the cell wall so that organic solvents can quickly enter the cells for easy extraction. The enzyme-assisted extraction method can improve the extraction rate of lutein due to the activity of the enzyme medium.
