Zeaxanthin Oil

 

Marigold-Derived Zeaxanthin for Oil-Based Formulations

Zeaxanthin Oil is an orange suspension oil, a concentrated carotenoid ingredient from the Tagetes erecta marigold flower. It comes in 10% and 20% zeaxanthin; it is designed for manufacturers who require zeaxanthin in oil-filled, lipid-based, or liquid nutritional formulations.

The decision of which oil format to use is not an easy one for manufacturers. It determines the way in which the ingredient is incorporated in the formulation.

Zeaxanthin Oil provides the carotenoid to the oil phase, enabling formulation scientists to formulate directly in the systems they already know and like that are compatible with the oil.

This can make the development process easier, with the final product being an oil fill or liquid lipid system. It also shifts the emphasis on the key technical issues, from the primary emphasis on powder dispersion and dry blending to the consideration of carrier compatibility, uniformity of suspensions, mixing, controlling oxidation, and stability of the finished product.

This is a format-friendly ingredient that is more likely to fit in the product structure of manufacturers with an oil phase.

The orange color of the suspension is due to the natural appearance of the concentrate material. Physical behavior should thus be considered during the formulation process in relation to the type of carrier used and processing conditions.

Suspension Behavior

Carotenoid Fraction is supplied as a suspension. Good mixing during the processing should be ensured to ensure uniformity and consistency.

Oil Compatibility

Combination of two or more lipid-soluble nutrients should be checked for compatibility with the carrier chosen.

Color Contribution

An orange carotenoid color is imparted to the oil phase from the ingredient. When applying in clear or light coloured formulations, finished product colour should be evaluated.

Processing Temperature

Don't expose to unnecessary excessive heat. The processing conditions are to be determined based on the entire formulation and stability needs.

 

 

For each product that is oil-based, the manufacturer should assess the product against the characteristics of the system in which it will be used instead of using a single formulation rule.

Carrier compatibility

Decide upon the 'fitness for purpose' of dispersion and physical stability of the selected oil.

Mixing efficiency

Provide adequate mixing, but not excessive agitation.

Oxidative environment

Take into account oxygen exposure, antioxidant systems, and packaging during development of the final product.

Light exposure

Assess the degree of light protection for processing, filling, and storage.

Long-term stability

Always test the finished formulation under suitable 'real time' and 'accelerated' conditions, rather than using only raw material data.

Assay retention

Be sure that the desired zeaxanthin concentration is maintained during the storage period.

Zeaxanthin Oil is especially important if the product that is to be manufactured contains an oil phase or lipid phase.

Oil-Filled Softgels

An exact match formulation for softgel manufacturers who need to formulate with carotenoids. Compatibility of the selected oil carrier/fill system and long-term physical stability should be evaluated.

Liquid Nutritional Products

May be used for some liquid products with a suitable lipid phase. Validation of dispersion and finished product homogeneity should be done during the development.

Lipid-Based Nutrient Blends

May be mixed with other oil-soluble carotenoids, vitamins, or nutritional supplements to make specific lipid blends.

Customized Oil Premixes

It can be added to a custom-made oil-phase premix as per the required active concentration for manufacturers that have a proprietary combination of ingredients.

 

 

Zeaxanthin Oil starts with marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta L.), which are a botanical source naturally containing xanthophyll carotenoids.

The manufacturing process consists of extraction, concentration of the desired carotenoid fraction, preparation into an oil-based suspension, and standardization to the desired concentration of zeaxanthin.

The goal is not just to acquire a carotenoid extract but to create a uniform oil-based product which can be used in formulated product sets.

Manufacturers can use standardization as a practical basis for calculation of addition levels, comparison of batches, and control of the active content of finished products.

 

 

 

The best application of Zeaxanthin Oil depends on more than just the product category. It depends on whether it is advantageous to incorporate zeaxanthin in the formulation architecture by using an oil phase.

Best suited to:

Oil-filled softgels

Lipid-based supplements

Liquid nutritional systems which have an oil phase

Carotenoid oil blends

Customized lipid premixes

Less suited to:

Dry tablet blends (traditional)

Powder sachets

Dry premixes

Other formulations such as those needing a free-flowing dry ingredient

A suitable Zeaxanthin Powder specification might be preferred for these applications.

What is Zeaxanthin Oil?

Zeaxanthin Oil is an ingredient that is produced from marigold and is supplied as an orange suspension oil for the formulation of products based on oil or lipids.

 

What concentrations are available?

Kingsci has two specifications for zeaxanthin: 10% and 20%.

 

Why use Zeaxanthin Oil instead of Zeaxanthin Powder?

The major differences are in the formulation process. Zeaxanthin Oil is added to an oil phase, and Zeaxanthin Powder is formulated for dry formulation systems.

 

Is Zeaxanthin Oil suitable for softgels?

Yes. It is available in an oil-based format for evaluation in oil-filled softgel systems with appropriate carriers.

 

What is the botanical source?

The zeaxanthin is extracted from Tagetes erecta L. (marigold).

 

What should be considered when formulating with Zeaxanthin Oil?

Carrier compatibility, mixing, uniformity in suspension, exposure to oxygen and light, processing temperature, and stability of the finished product are key factors to consider.

 

Can I request a sample?

Yes. A sample of Zeaxanthin Oil is available for qualified B2B customers interested in evaluating a formulation for Zeaxanthin Oil.

 

 

The amount of zeaxanthin needed will depend on the architecture of the formulation (softgel oil or lipid-based) and the desired active level of the product, including the case of a customized carotenoid blend.
