Lutein, as a Herb extract pigment with multiple biological activities, has been widely used in food, medicine and Cosmetics Materials it leads to poor water solubility and stability of lutein, easy degradation and inactivation, low oral bioavailability, greatly affecting its efficacy. 1 g lutein is equal to the value of 1 g of gold, has been given the“Plant gold” reputation
1.Food Additivei make to prevent obesity-related diseases,Natural Extracts can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes, play a role in lipid-lowering. Specifically, it inhibits the activity of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) , which is responsible for activating adipocytes. Activation of PPAR γ downregulates the expression of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α, LP and IL6(IL-6) , and induces the expression of adiponectin, a fatty factor that makes liver and muscle sensitive to insulin, then regulate insulin sensitivity, intervene adipocyte differentiation, play the role of lipid-lowering.
2. Natural Food Colorants can Improvement of visual function in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and in healthy individuals lutein is a major Carotenoid in Macula of retina that filters some of the blue light that enters the human retina, effectively reduce the visual damage, at the same time inhibit the activity of oxygen free radicals, prevent oxygen free radical damage to the optic cells. The exact etiology of AMD is not clear yet. It may be related to heredity, long-term light damage, metabolic and nutritional dysfunction. Lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation can improve early central retinal dysfunction in patients with early AMD.
3. Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy people lutein has a good antioxidant capacity, can effectively inhibit the arteriosclerosis process of oxidative stress response, it can reduce the inflammatory reaction and the oxidative damage of tissue cells. The intake of lutein, blood or adipose tissue lutein levels are high, the risk of cardiovascular disease will be reduced. 4. Lutein has the function of anti-oxidation and inhibiting lipoxygenase, which can reduce the erythema, aging, burn and even skin cancer caused by ultraviolet radiation. 5. The pigment lutein has strong coloring power for egg yolk, poultry and chicken feed, which can increase the hatching of eggs and increase the reproduction rate of poultry. In many countries and regions of the world, especially in the United States and many Asian countries, because of habits and psychological effects, most people prefer the golden yellow or orange-red yolk, like golden skin poultry, soft red meat, and often from the color of egg yolk to judge the nutritional value and freshness of eggs. According to the experience of consumers will be yellow skin as the meat and flavor of better signs of broilers, a direct impact on the price of products. Therefore, in the modern poultry industry, feed companies, in order to meet the needs of the market, often add excessive amounts of synthetic commodity colorants in their feed, which not only greatly increases the cost, but also is harmful to human health , so lutein is also a natural pigment with no side effects that can color egg yolks, poultry and chicken feed. Because of its safety and nutritional functions meet the market demand, it is widely used in feed coloring. 6. Anti-cancer function lutein is a Carotenoid, with special physiological activity, can inhibit the growth of human tumors, can resist a variety of cancers, such as skin cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer.
