Focusing on the pharmaceutical, food, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries, Aogu Biotech is committed to providing high-quality products that promote health and well-being.

One such product is lutein powder, derived from marigold extract and zeaxanthin. Lutein is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in maintaining healthy vision and overall health. Unlike other mammals, humans cannot synthesize lutein on their own and must therefore rely on external food sources for intake.

Lutein is found in a wide variety of foods, especially green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, and cabbage. Orange-yellow fruits and vegetables, such as papayas, squash, and citrus, also contain high amounts of lutein. In addition, lutein coexists with zeaxanthin in nature and is the main component of plant pigments in corn, vegetables, fruits and flowers. In fact, corn is unusually high in lutein, accounting for 60 percent of the total carotene in corn.

Lutein has a unique structure with three chiral centers and eight stereoisomers. It has a light hay scent that adds to its unique character. Lutein exhibits varying solubility characteristics, being insoluble in water and propylene glycol. But slightly soluble in oil and n-hexane, easily soluble in acetone, dichloromethane and ethanol. The order of stability in solvents is absolute ethanol > ethyl acetate > tetrahydrofuran > toluene.

Unfortunately, lutein has poor stability and is easily affected by factors such as oxygen, light, heat, metal ions, and pH. Heat treatment in particular leads to isomerization of lutein, resulting in 9-cis and 13-cis lutein. Therefore, it is critical to store pure lutein crystals or lutein-containing materials in vacuum-sealed or inert gas packaging, protected from light and low temperatures to maintain their integrity.

For food additives, safety is very important, and lutein has been proved to be highly safe, non-toxic and harmless. Its special physiological function is in line with the development direction of "natural", "nutritional" and "multifunctional" food additives. As an important natural pigment and health product, lutein is a green and healthy food raw material and an ideal additive for various foods.

In conclusion, lutein powder derived from marigold extract and zeaxanthin is a powerful nutrient that is key to improving vision and overall health. As a company specializing in the production and distribution of pharmaceuticals, raw materials, plant extracts and nutraceuticals, Aogu Biotech is committed to providing high-quality lutein powder to support individuals to achieve optimal well-being. By incorporating lutein-rich foods or lutein supplements into your daily routine, you can enhance vision health and promote overall vitality.
