Cold Water Soluble Lutein Microencapsulated Powder
—Cold Water Dissolution, High Stability, Empowering Eye Health Innovation
1. Product Positioning
Engineered to address the challenges of lutein’s photosensitivity, poor cold-water solubility, and low bioavailability, this product transforms liquid lutein into a stable, instantly soluble functional powder via multi-layer microencapsulation. Ideal for instant beverages, solid drinks, and infant food, it meets modern consumers’ demand for convenience and efficacy.
2. Core Technology
- Nano-Scale Encapsulation Process:
Utilizes dual-layer wall material technology (hydrophilic modified starch outer layer + lipid barrier inner layer) to achieve:
✅ Instant Dissolution in Cold Water: Full dispersion within 3 seconds (25°C, no stirring required).
✅ Light/Thermal Stability: >95% lutein retention after 90-day accelerated testing at 45°C.
✅ Targeted Release: Intestinal-specific delivery, boosting bioavailability by 50%. - Clean Label: Free from synthetic preservatives, non-GMO ingredients. Halal/Kosher certifications available.
3. Key Benefits
| Pain Points | Technical Solutions | Customer Value |
|---|---|---|
| Oxidation of liquid lutein | Oxygen/UV barrier via microcapsules | 24-month shelf life, 40% lower storage costs |
| Clumping in traditional powders | Nano-scale particle size (D50=20μm) + hydrophilic coating | Zero residue in cold water/milk |
| Low absorption rate | Phospholipid complex enhances intestinal permeability | 1.5x efficacy at same dosage |
4. Application Scenarios
- Functional Foods:
- Lutein instant beverages: Orange-flavored/sugar-free formulas, visual “eye health” appeal.
