Lutein and Brain Function [PDF]
Foods, 2015 Lutein is one of the most prevalent carotenoids in nature and in the human diet. Together with zeaxanthin, it is highly concentrated as macular pigment in the foveal retina of primates, attenuating blue light exposure, providing protection from photo ...

Photo-stability of lutein in surfactant-free lutein-zein composite colloidal particles [PDF]
Food Chemistry: X, 2020 The ability of nanoparticles from the plant protein zein to protect lutein from light degradation was studied under various conditions. Lutein-zein nanoparticles were synthesized, after zein purification, by anti-solvent precipitation.
