3.Product introduction
一、Product source
Lutein, also known as "phytolutein", is a natural carotenoid that is widely present in vegetables, fruits, flowers and certain algae organisms and has important functions on the human body. Lutein is mainly derived from the petals of marigolds of the genus Marigold, which are mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan.
二、Production process
三、Physical and chemical properties
1、叶黄素酯
Lutein in the natural state mostly exists in the form of carotenoid, which is an important carotenoid fatty acid ester. It is easily soluble in chloroform, dichloromethane, carbon dichloride, and other chlorinated hydrocarbons. Soluble in solvents such as n-hexane, acetone, ethyl acetate, ethanol, etc., its stability is stronger than that of lutein, and only under high temperature, strong acid, iron ions, oxygen and other factors can damage lutein esters.
2、Lutein
Lutein is a highly free carotenoid without vitamin A activity produced by saponification and hydrolysis of lutein ester. Its molecular formula is C40H56O2.It is an effective nutrient to prevent age-related macular degeneration and plays a very important role in human eye health.It is mainly used in the fields of medicine and health care, cosmetics, food additives and so on.
四、Application fields and functional features
1、Application fields of lutein
（1）As a food colorant, it is used in frozen drinks, baked foods, instant rice flour products, beverages, etc.
（2）As a feed colorant, it is applied to the coloring of poultry eggs, salmon, trout and shrimp.
（3）Based on its function of scavenging free radicals and protecting skin, it is applied in the field of cosmetics
（4）As a functional raw material, it is used in the field of health food to improve vision and protect eyes
