technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of lutein-related functional foods, in particular to a compound microcapsule powder of lutein and its preparation method and application. Background technique
[0002] Lutein is a carotenoid. Lutein can be deposited in the macula of the human eye. It acts as an antioxidant or photoprotectant to filter blue light entering the eye. It is important for the prevention of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. However, the molecular structure of lutein contains multiple conjugated double bonds, which are susceptible to degradation or isomerization under the influence of light, heat, oxygen, metal ions, acidic conditions and other pro-oxidants, resulting in the loss of biological activity, and the crystalline form The existing lutein is difficult to be completely released and absorbed in the digestive tract. Therefore, unstable chemical properties, poor water solubility, and low oral bioavailability severely limit...
