Lutein and beta cyclodextrin

Lutein is a natural antioxidant with excellent performance, can resist oxygen free radical damage to cells and organs in the human body, preventing cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease caused by aging and other symptoms, lutein intake in the diet can not only inhibit the tumor can even play a role in preventing tumor. The most important thing is there is the only lens xanthophyll carotenoid is the main pigment and antioxidant, macular, many eye diseases have a great relationship with the lack of lutein, decreased visual acuity and eye blindness caused by senile macular retinal lesions in the prevention is the unique function of lutein. It can be seen that lutein plays an important role in protecting the eyes.
Lutein is a kind of oil - related substance, which is usually insoluble in water. Lutein is a carotenoid, so it is fat soluble . It is easy to dissolve in oil and fat solvent. The pure lutein is a prismatic yellow crystal with metallic lustre and unstable to light and oxygen.
The experiment proved that after the inclusion of lutein and cyclodextrin, its stability was obviously improved, and its ability to resist heat, antioxidant and light damage increased. At the same time, the solubility of lutein increased with the increase of the concentration of beta -CD, and the hydrophilicity of xanthophyll was obviously improved. The inclusion compound solves the problem of lutein's water solubility and poor stability and is not easy to preserve. It improves the oral effect and reduces the production cost, and is technically feasible and economical and practical.
