Zeaxanthin Beadlets

 

Microencapsulated Zeaxanthin in a Formulation-Friendly Beadlet Format

Zeaxanthin Beadlets are microencapsulated zeaxanthin ingredients designed to provide manufacturers with a protected, free-flowing particle formulation for dry and water-dispersible applications. The beadlet formulation is an effective method to include zeaxanthin in a variety of products such as premixes, powdered beverages, tablets, chewables, sachets, and other nutritional products that conventional carotenoid powders may need special formulation for.

Zeaxanthin Powder is light-, oxygen-, heat-, and moisture-sensitive. A protective matrix is formed around the carotenoid, and the handling and formulation properties of the ingredient are altered by converting the ingredient to a microencapsulated beadlet format.

This is not focused on zeaxanthin concentration, but on the actual needs of manufacturers of both dry blends and water-dispersible systems.

The beads created will ensure the provision of:

A well-defined, easy-to-flow particle format.

A decrease in the direct interaction of zeaxanthin and the environment.

Easily added to dry premixes!

Water-dispersible performance

Several assay options to allow for flexible addition rates

The performance of the ingredient should always be assessed in the desired final product matrix.

Appearance is not the only difference between beadlets and regular zeaxanthin powder. It's the formulation that is applied to the production process.

Particle Handling

Very fine carotenoid powders can be more difficult to weigh, transfer, and blend compared to the larger, defined beadlet structure. Can be useful when you have to deal with dusting and handling ingredients in a production environment.

Blend Integration

Beadlets may be used in dry premixes with other carotenoids and botanicals, minerals, vitamins, and other ingredients. Parameters should be mixed based on the size, the density of the particles, and the complete parameters.

Controlled Addition

The 5% and 10% specifications mean that different ratios of ACTIVE/CARRIER are used. Depending on the desired amount of zeaxanthin and how much ingredient can be used in the finished product, manufacturers can choose the proper grade.

Dispersion After Reconstitution

The beadlet system is used for powdered beverages and other reconstituted systems. The effect of dispersion time, mixing conditions, pH, temperature, and the presence of other formulation components can be different.

 

 

Zeaxanthin Beadlets have the potential to be used as part of a typical formulation workflow at various stages.

2. Premix Preparation

The chosen beadlet specification is weighed based on the amount of zeaxanthin contribution.

3. Product Manufacturing

Beadlets may be mixed with other active ingredients (carriers, vitamins, minerals, etc.) that are compatible with the product.

3. Product Manufacturing

The premix can then be formulated into tablets, chewable tablets, sachets, powdered drinks, capsules, or any other appropriate form.

4. Final Dispersion or Consumption Format

Reconstitution conditions should be considered for water-dispersible products to ensure the desired dispersion properties in the product.

In this workflow, it is especially important if the manufacturer requires a dry product for production as well as a dispersible product to formulate the final product.

Instant Drink Powders

Microencapsulated Zeaxanthin may be added to powdered drinks for nutrition, which are then rehydrated with water before drinking. This water-dispersible format is an alternative to direct incorporation of a carotenoid ingredient in oil.

Sachets

Selected single-serving powder formulations can be formulated in the defined particle format. When using zeaxanthin with a high proportion of other powdered components, uniformity of blending should be checked.

Chewable Products

Chumup tablets or chewable tablets can be assessed for beadlets. During development, the characteristics of the particles, compression conditions, taste assessment, and excipient compatibility should be considered.

Tablets & Capsules

It can be used as a component in certain dry dosage forms that can be processed to accommodate the beadlet dosage form. The required grade can be selected based on the required level of activity and formulation space.

Nutritional Premixes

Lutein, carotenoid nutrients, minerals and vitamins can be incorporated in nutritional premixes in the form of beads. The degree of particle uniformity and segregation should be assessed using the entire particle system.

 

 

Kingsci offers Zeaxanthin Beadlets in different assay levels to provide flexibility during formulation development.

 

Specification	Typical Use Consideration
5% Zeaxanthin	Suitable where a higher addition volume is acceptable or a lower active concentration is preferred for premix design
10% Zeaxanthin	Suitable where a higher zeaxanthin concentration is preferred and formulation space is more limited

 

The necessary addition should be based on the desired zeaxanthin level in the final product and not be chosen just because of assay.

The aforementioned would suggest that a formulation that demands more beadlet material can be obtained by using a 5% grade, and a more concentrated 10% grade can decrease the amount of ingredient to be added to the blend.

 

 

The assay of zeaxanthin and the physical environment where the beadlets are used also significantly affect formulation performance.

Moisture: Ensure that the ingredient is not exposed to too much moisture during storage and processing.

Heat: Minimise unwanted exposure to high processing temperatures, especially where there are long manufacturing steps.

Light & Oxygen: Avoid prolonged exposure during handling; ensure proper packaging after opening.

Particle Uniformity: Determine the size and bulk density of particle blends to minimize the chances of segregation when making beadlets with other powders.

Water Dispersion: Consider dispersion in the complete formulation, not just in laboratory water tests, when preparing beverages.

Compatibility with excipients: Any interaction with minerals, proteins, gums, acids, flavors, and other active substances needs to be evaluated as part of the formulation development.

 

 

The three main zeaxanthin formats serve different formulation environments.

 

Format	Primary Characteristic	Better Fit
Zeaxanthin Powder	Conventional dry zeaxanthin ingredient	Dry blends, tablets, capsules
Zeaxanthin Beadlets	Microencapsulated, free-flowing, water-dispersible format	Drink powders, sachets, chewables, premixes
Zeaxanthin Oil	Oil-based zeaxanthin delivery	Softgels, oil-based liquids, lipid formulations

What are Zeaxanthin Beadlets?

Zeaxanthin Beadlets are beadlet particles containing zeaxanthin, in a microencapsulated form in the shape of free-flowing beads. These are formulated for the manufacturer who needs a water-dispersible zeaxanthin product in a protected form.

 

What is the difference between Zeaxanthin Beadlets and Zeaxanthin Powder?

Conventional Zeaxanthin ingredients are in the form of powder, and zeaxanthin beadlets are structured in a microencapsulated form. Beadlets are especially useful with regard to formulation considerations of handling particles, protecting the ingredients, and dispersing in water.

 

Are Zeaxanthin Beadlets water soluble?

Zeaxanthin is a fatty carotenoid; zeaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid. Beadlet formulation is designed to give water-dispersible performance, rather than molecular water solubility.

 

What assay levels are available?

There are 5% and 10% Zeaxanthin Beadlets available from Kingsci. The specific will be determined by the desired addition level in the final formulation and the target active level.

 

Can Zeaxanthin Beadlets be used in powdered beverages?

Yes. They can be tested in powdered beverages and other nutritional products that are rehydrated. The actual dispersion should be tested in the complete formulation, under the intended conditions of preparation.

 

Can they be used in tablets?

Yes. Zeaxanthin Beadlets are suitable for inclusion in certain formulations as tablets and chewable tablets. Blend uniformity, blend compression, and excipient compatibility should be considered during development.
