Product Description

Lutein ester is an important carotenoid fatty acid ester, with dark reddish brown fine particles. Most of the lutein esters that exist in nature can be divided into trans-lutein esters and cis-lutein esters, which are basically all-trans molecular configurations. All-trans lutein esters can be divided into: lutein monoester and lutein diester. It is widely found in plants such as marigold flowers, pumpkins, cabbage, and first grains. Among them, the content is the most abundant in marigold flowers, up to 30% to 40%. In marigold flowers and other plants, lutein generally exists in the form of esters combined with fatty acids (such as lauric acid, palmitic acid, etc.).
