Lutein and zeaxanthin: Production technology, bioavailability, mechanisms of action, visual function, and health claim status

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The xanthophylls, lutein and zeaxanthin have been demonstrated to act as protective shields against high energy blue light, key contributors to central vision as well as to high visual acuity, and antioxidants that repair photo-induced oxidative damage. Like other phytochemicals, the sundry techniques for extraction, purification, structural characterization and identification of lutein and zeaxanthin have undergo...
