Marigold Extract (Lutein) — Benefits, Uses & Industrial Applications
What is Marigold Extract (Lutein)?
Marigold Extract is a natural carotenoid extract derived from the flowers of Tagetes erecta (Marigold). It is a rich source of Lutein, a naturally occurring pigment widely used in nutraceutical, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Lutein is commonly extracted through solvent extraction followed by saponification and purification processes to obtain free lutein or lutein esters. It is extensively used in dietary supplements and functional formulations due to its antioxidant properties and vibrant yellow-orange color.
