What is Lutein Beadlets Powder?

Lutein beadlets powder is prepared by utilizing a unique encapsulation technology. Microencapsulation technology involves coating of Lutein extracted from Marigold flowers with a protective barrier around the individual Lutein particles. The result is a significant improvement of Lutein beadlets powder's ability to withstand the heat, oxygen, moisture and light, as compared to the regular Lutein powders.

Lutein exists as an carotenoid found in nature. It is not synthesised in the body, therefore, lutein must be obtained from diet and/or supplementation. Microencapsulated lutein has been made one of the most preferred ingredients for manufacturers of dietary supplements as well as those producing functional foods due to its great stability and improved dispersal properties.

Compared to unprocessed lutein, the beadlets are easier to process in the manufacturing process including tablet compression, filling of capsule, blending of beverages and the fortification of foodstuffs and are therefore providing greater product quality during their storage.

Natural Source of Lutein 

Lutein extract powder is made from marigold, which has been chosen as the primary natural source of lutein due to its high lutein content. 

Contains: 

• Carefully collected high-quality petals of marigold 
• The application of gentle extraction techniques that maintain the integrity of naturally occurring carotenoids 
• Uses an advanced purification process 
• Microencapsulation technology enhances stability 
• Stringent quality control measures taken before shipping. 

It is a naturally derived Lutein obtained from marigold. It is Non-GMO, gelatin free, and suitable for vegetarian formulations. It also provides excellent flowability, which is helpful in industrial productions.

Why do you select Microencapsulated Lutein? 

Most luteins do not survive well under environmental conditions due to the presence of oxygen, light or heat during the manufacturing process or while in storage, which can lower the potency of the product. 

We have overcome this issue by using microencapsulation technology in our marigold extract powder. 

The following are a few of the benefits: 

1. Greater Stability 

Used as a barrier protection, the coating on microencapsulated Lutein helps prevent the Lutein from oxidizing or degrading due to the oxidation and degradation process in transit, during processing, and while in long-term storage. 

2. Increased Heat Resistance 

Microencapsulated Lutein is an excellent choice for foods that will undergo moderate heat during processing because it helps retain product quality through the manufacturing process. 

3. Enhanced Flowability

The beadlet SHAPE is very fluid during automatic production, which makes it a great choice for being placed into tablet, capsule, sachet, powdered beverage, and/or nutritional blend forms. 

4. Superior Dispersibility 

The microcapsules provide an improved dispersibility in dry mixes by providing a more uniform distribution in the final product form. 

5. Potential to support increased bioavailability 

Microencapsulation assists in the protection of your lutein prior to digestion, which makes it easier to be absorbed than normal powders.

Benefits of Lutein

Lutein's popularity has grown rapidly in the health/supplement sector worldwide due to more consumers giving priority to eye health and healthy ageing.

• Eye Health Support

The macula is where Lutein occurs naturally to help screen high-energy blue light and to help the eyes view things clearly.

• Supports Antioxidant Activity

Lutein is classified as a carotenoid, with antioxidant properties that counter the free radicals produced by oxidative stress thus contributes to the health of the body's cells.

• Supporting healthy Aging

Because antioxidant nutrients contribute to long-term health and wellness, the number of healthy aging formulations that include lutein is rising.

• Brain Health

Recent studies related to nutrition have demonstrated that an appropriate amount of lutein can help adults maintain healthy Brain Function over their lifetime.

• Skin Rejuvenation

Due to the fact that Antioxidant Nutrients (such as Lutein) help to support Healthy Skin in the Face of Environmental Stress, Lutein is also being widely used in beauty-from-within type products.

Lutein Powder vs Lutein CWS Beadlets

B2B customers often inquire if they should select an ordinary lutein powder or beadlets.

Traditional lutein powder is a good source of lutein; however, it has a relatively low level of stability during processing and storage. It is mainly suitable for products that go through minimal processing.

On the other hand, lutein beadlets powder are made using a process called microencapsulation. Microencapsulation protects the lutein beadlets from oxidation, heat and light during processing and storage. Microencapsulation also improves how the lutein beadlets can be handled in an industrial manufacturing process.
CWS (Cold water soluble) beadlets of lutein are formulated to rapidly disperse in cold water systems. Therefore, they will be most suitable for use in powdered beverage products, instant drinks, dairy products, nutrition sachets, and other functional food applications.

Manufacturers who are interested in improving the shelf life of their products, increasing the stability of their production processes, and creating a more consistent product will generally select beadlets as their primary choice of manufacturing material.

Uses of lutein in dietary supplements

The lutein ingredient is still the most popular ingredient in the nutraceutical industry today.

Some of the applications include:

• Eye health capsule
• Softgel
• Tablet
• Powdered drink mixes
• Sachet
• Multivitamin formulas
• Healthy aging supplement
• Children's nutrition products

The microencapsulated lutein form of lutein demonstrates very good stability and therefore performs very well in large-scale manufacturing processes.

Usage of Lutein in Functional Foods

Natural nutrition is now a major reason for choosing foods globally.

The following are the food applications that our lutein beadlets powder can be used in:
• Nutritional beverages
• Milk powder
• Protein nutrition products
• Functional dairy products
• Nutrition bars
• Healthy snacks
• Meal replacement powders
• Instant beverage formulations

Lutein extract powder can be easily dispersed in water and will remain stable when mixed with water or any other liquid. This makes it a perfect ingredient in developing new age functional foods.
