The invention discloses a
lutein ester microcapsule preparation process, which comprises: extracting a
lutein ester solution, preparing marigold and n-
hexane, washing marigold, removing soil and impurities, airing, and
grinding into a
fine powder with a mesh number of less than 200 mesh after airing. The
lutein ester microcapsules are dried in a freeze-
drying mode, the activity of the lutein ester microcapsules can be ensured, structural damage and deformation in the
drying process are reduced, the
embedding rate of the lutein ester microcapsules is increased, the stability and
bioavailability of the lutein ester microcapsules can be improved by adding the coenzyme Q10 into the lutein ester solution, and the lutein ester microcapsules can be applied to preparation of capsules. According to the present invention, the lutein ester solution is added to the
wall material, the oxidation
degradation process of the lutein ester is delayed so as to improve the high
temperature resistance, and the surfactant is added during the lutein ester solution and
wall material mixing process so as to improve the
solubility and the dispersibility of the lutein ester, such that the lutein ester can be well wrapped by the vegetable glue
wall material, protection can be achieved, and the light resistance can be improved; and the
shelf life is prolonged.
