Global Lutein Esters Market Definition

Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid that is primarily found in plants. It is found in many fruits and green leafy vegetables and can be found in both forms such as – lutein esters and free lutein. Free lutein is found in kale, spinach, celery, collards, and lettuce; whereas lutein esters are found in chili, pepper, papaya, oranges, mango, and marigold flower petals. Lutein esters are lutein bound to various types of fatty acids such as – lauric, myristic, and palmitic acids. Lutein ester is predominantly present in marigold flower (Tagetes sp) petals and therefore is extracted from these to produce lutein ester additives.

Lutein ester has a characteristic yellow-orange color and therefore it is mainly employed as a natural colorant pigment in animal and fish feeds, and food and beverages. Its main application in animal feed is to brighten the colors of poultry feathers and deepen the yellow color of egg yolks. Also, lutein esters are gaining recognition to prepare fortified food items such as fortified milk and bakery products to add lutein ester supplements in the meal. Furthermore, due to its UV-damage blocking properties, lutein esters are highly demanded in personal care industries to formulate various skincare products with UV-blocking features.

Also, pork and chicken meat production and their exports are rising across the world. The global population is projected to increase and it will play a significant role in the rise of demand for animal protein. The poultry nutritionists are paying more focused attention to lutein-enriched egg production as the application of xanthophyll supplements as feeds in the poultry industry had led to improved interest in the egg as an excellent source of highly bioavailable xanthophylls including Lutein. Furthermore, lutein ester (carotenoid) is used in the aquaculture industry. It is included in the feeds of fish, mainly as pigments to provide a desirable coloration to the cultured fish organisms including crustaceans, salmonids, and other farmed fish.

The demand for vitamin and dietary supplements or nutraceuticals is increasing among the population to get an additional supplement of lutein carotenoid in the body. Studies have shown several health benefits of lutein supplementation. The rising demand for natural, herbal, and organic personal care products brings great potential for the lutein esters market.
