Hen egg carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) and nutritional impacts on human health: a review

2017-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Hen egg is a unique and important carrier of lipid soluble bioactive carotenoids – lutein and zeaxanthin. Egg yolk carotenoid profile is largely dependent on hen’s feed composition. Naturally, lutein and zeaxanthin are polar carotenoids primarily deposited in human retina and provide several protective functions, i.e. protect the macula from damage by blue light, improve visual acuity, and scavenge harmful reactiv...
