What exactly are Lutein Beadlets 10%?

Lutein beadlets 10% exhibit high stability and represent an advanced, naturally-occurring lutein product produced from marigold flowers of high quality (Tagetes erecta). Lutein, being a naturally-occurring carotenoid, are susceptible to outside influence (i.e., sunlight, heat, oxygen, and acidic) while undergoing food or supplement formulation processes which typically results in quick breakdown of luteins and loss of efficacy. Our engineering team has addressed the issue by utilizing state-of-the-art microencapsulation technologies to ensure that the active lutein molecules are safely contained in a uniform, microscopic, protective matrix.

The micro-matrix architecture gives structural support to the ingredient, increasing its heat and light resistance, and shelf life, while also enabling the ingredient to disperse optimally in water. Our premium lutein beadlets powder is made from non-GMO marigold crops and contains no gelatin. Therefore, it is suitable for the development of clean-label, vegan, and/or vegetarian products worldwide.

Main Product Advantages and Technical Description 

B2B buyers, procurement managers, and research and development formulators are faced with a multitude of choices when selecting the raw materials to be used in their products based on performance criteria as well as consumer market considerations. Lutein Beadlets Powder delivers several competitive advantages that include: 

Ultimate Commercial Stability / Production Process Efficiency: Lutein and other carotenoids are maintained at all times during microencapsulation process, so, for example, they do not get damaged in the manufacture of tablets, capsules, or during food pasteurization at high temperatures. As a result, manufacturers do not have to bear the additional expense of carrying additional supplies (i.e. supplying overages) until there vendor supplies them. This reduces the manufacturers cost of producing the products and provides additional economic value.

100 percent Natural Origin &Naturally Sourced: Extracted directly from naturally grownMarigold petals, our Marigold extract Lutein powder provides a pure, traceable, and fully natural source of material that is,in accordance to the desire of today’s consumer to have transparency in theirplant-based nutrition choices

Clean-Label Compliance (No Gelatin & Non-GMO): A lot of the old-style beadlet products rely on gelatin made from animals as their coating

material, and so are very limited in where they can be sold (vegetarian and religious). NT Biotech beadlets are made using a high-tech plant-based or starch matrix and will meet non-GMO requirements and KOSHER and HALAL dietary standards.

Commercial Applications of Lutein Beadlets 10 % 

Lutein Beadlets 10 % CWS is very cold-water-soluble, has a great shelf life and stability, making this ingredient a “powerhouse” of versatility and can be used in almost all of the high-growth market segments: 

• Eye vitamin gummy made from Lutein CWS 10% Powder.

The way people consume nutritional supplements has changed significantly, with gummies and chewables now being the fastest-growing segment of the market. Carotenoid powders are very challenging to use in formulas containing gelatin or pectin as the foundation of the gummy product because they do not directly dissolve in water and break down easily due to heat during the production process of the gummy. The Lutein beadlets 10% solves this issue 100%. It is possible to obtain a homogeneous dispersion of Lutein beadlets in the gummy without any formation of Lutein grit and with this the manufacturer can create a product that provides its full potency through the heat and cooling processes. This will give gummy supplements that have high effectiveness in eye protection and are appealing to both children and adults who are fatigued by the screens.

• Bright yellow lutein CWS powder for dairy products

Clean-label food businesses are using the clean-label guidelines to transition from artificial food colorings such as Tartrazine (Yellow No. 5) to natural food coloring sources. Marigold extract lutein powder can be used as a bright, natural yellow food color - alternative to food color yellow – Lutein CWS powder in dairy foods such as milk powder, dairy yogurt, and plant-based beverages and Infant Nutrition! This Avery Gold natural color also contributes to the enhancement of the product's aesthetics - a golden yellow color of the product through the added value of natural health benefits - a "dual action" sales opportunity for food and beverage companies.

• Wide-Spectrum Supplements and Functional Foods 

Our lutein beadlets powder is available in wide selection for manufacturers of dietary supplements, including classic hard-shell capsules, compressed nutritional tablets, mixed meal and sports beverage powders, etc. Its fast dispersibility in water makes it an ideal ingredient for manufacturers of modern functional drinks, nutritional meal replacement products, and sports snack foods, as it can be added to these products and thus increase their nutritional value without affecting the product texture or sensory experience.

Health Benefits: Why Lutein Has Become a Top Choice of Modern Consumers

The addition of lutein powder in the form of marigold extract into your product offering will provide you with the opportunity to connect with some very clearly proven consumer health trends. Lutein Beadlets 10 % is an extremely important xanthophyll carotenoid that cannot be produced by the human body itself and must therefore be obtained through dietary and/or supplemental sources.

Blue Light Filtering and Retinal Protection (advanced): Since lutein is a natural unit of "internal sunglasses" in the macular pigment of the retina, it will filter out the high energy blue light produced by personal devices (smartphones, computers, and LED screens) and contribute to the protection of the sensitive retina cells from oxidative stress and long-term structural damage.

Improving Sharpness of Vision & Preventing Macular Damage: Taking high-quality lutein supplements regularly in beadlet powder form maintains the ideal density of the Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) in your eyes, where a higher MPOD directly correlates with better vision, less sensitivity to glare, quicker contrast recovery, and fewer chance(s) of having Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

Systemic Antioxidant Protection & Cognitive Support: Current clinical studies show that, in addition to accumulating primarily in the eyes, lutein also accumulates preferentially in the brains of individuals, where it helps protect against local cellular oxidation and assists with cognitive processes, memory retention and executive function performance in both seniors and youth populations.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1:What commercial specifications are available for your beadlet powder? 

A:Our standard commercial specification for Lutein beadlets powder is Lutein beadlets 10% HPLC with optimum water dispersibility. We also make and supply custom commercial grades to fulfillment of different formulation requirements (5% and 20% HPLC) in addition to our standard commercial grade (10% HPLC). 

Q2: How will the difference effect between Water Dispersible Lutein and Standard Lutein Powder from Marigold Extract?
A: The normal lutein powders have a melting property and are oil melting. They do not dissolve in water and are separated in liquid products. We have micro beadle embedded in capsules that have the special CWS technology to make the capsules easy to dissolve and will give a uniform suspension without sedimentation or color separation. 

Q3: Is your product free from gelatin and suitable for a vegan product?
A: Yes, our manufacturing site uses a high-tech carbohydrate structure of plant origin to wrap the carotenoids. The product does not contain any gelatin from pork, beef, or fish which makes it 100% vegetarian, vegan and meets all the clean-label and non-GMO standards. 

Q4: Is this component still good after making food at high temperatures?
A. Due to the ultramodern microencapsulation technique used in manufacturing our products, the active molecules are adequately protected from the high temperatures and shear forces during the tablet compression processes in industrial applications and pasteurization food processing lines, therefore, the active molecules will have very low degradation rate in comparison to unformulated raw extracts.
