Zeaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in various plants and foods. Commercial zeaxanthin is commonly produced from marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta) or other suitable botanical sources, depending on the manufacturing process and specification.
Zeaxanthin can be supplied in different concentrations and delivery formats, including:
· Zeaxanthin powder
· Microencapsulated zeaxanthin
· Water-dispersible zeaxanthin
· Zeaxanthin beadlets
· Oil-based zeaxanthin preparations
· Lutein + zeaxanthin blends
The appropriate format depends on the target dosage, formulation, stability requirements and final dosage form.
Zeaxanthin is widely used in eye-health and healthy-aging formulations, including:
· Eye-health capsules and tablets
· Gummies
· Multivitamin formulations
· Functional beverage powders
· Sachets and stick packs
· Children’s nutritional products
· Healthy-aging supplements
· Lutein + zeaxanthin formulas
For dry formulations, beadlet or microencapsulated formats can offer advantages in handling, dispersion and stability.
Zeaxanthin is sensitive to oxygen, light and heat. Microencapsulation can surround the active carotenoid with a protective matrix, helping reduce exposure to environmental factors during processing and storage.
Typical quality-control parameters may include:
· Zeaxanthin assay
· Lutein and other carotenoid levels
· Moisture
· Particle size
· Dispersibility
· Peroxide value, where applicable
· Heavy metals
· Microbiological parameters
Yes. Plant-derived zeaxanthin can be used in vegan formulations. Depending on the selected delivery system, plant-based carriers such as starch or gum arabic may be used instead of animal-derived materials.
For brands targeting Vegan, Allergen-Free, Clean Label or Sugar-Free positioning, the carrier system and manufacturing controls should be reviewed together with the specification and allergen statement before making the final claim.
