Effect of temperature on lutein esterification and lutein stability in wheat grain [PDF]
, 2013 The creamy colour of many wheat-based end-products is conferred by endogenous lutein. During post-harvest storage of grain, free lutein may be converted in part to potentially more stable lutein mono- and di-fatty acid esters. This study investigates the
