What is Zeaxanthin Beadlet Powder?

 

Zeaxanthin Beadlet Powder is a high-performing, stable, and free-flowing carotenoid ingredient form that is specially designed to work in the food industry in dietary supplements, functional foods, and feed formulations. The beadlet form has been designed by using advanced micro-dispersion and spray-cooling technology, which guarantees the beadlet form has the best stability, high flowability, and uniform dispersion when used in a large-scale production. Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid xanthophyll known to have a strong antioxidant effect and be an important aid to both visual and cell health, and is found naturally in marigolds and is predominantly utilized as an antioxidant. Nevertheless, because it is light sensitive, oxygen sensitive, and heat sensitive, turning it into a beadlet would enable the manufacturers to preserve the active ingredient, retain its activity, and be predictable in finished goods. All the beadlets are engineered to have a protective outer matrix, usually food-grade starch, gelatin, sucrose, or other similar stabilizing agents, which surround a uniform spherical particle. The structure not only increases the resistance to oxidation and moisture of the product but also provides the product with excellent handling properties during mixing, blending, tableting, and encapsulation. It is an easy-to-disperse ingredient, and dosing of any formulation is easy to achieve; the product maintains a consistent color without altering the texture or taste. These are the technical advantages that make it best suited to be an ingredient that a manufacturing company would want to have due to its functionality and efficiency in production.

Features

 

The characteristics of Microencapsulated Zeaxanthin Powder are that the product has excellent physical and chemical stability, which results from a specific encapsulation and spray-cooling procedure that converts zeaxanthin to homogenous, free-flowing spheres. The beadlets are made out of a protective coating that serves to isolate the active zeaxanthin against the environmental stressors like light, oxygen, and heat, and in effect prevents oxidation and loss of color. This architecture provides the powder with high flowability, low hygroscopicity, and high compression resistance, enabling the powder to be in an intact state during mixing, blending, and tablet formation. The beadlet form is chemically superior to ensure stability in oxidation and a regulated release, which ensures the stability of bioavailability and product uniformity. The encapsulation matrix also enhances better dispersibility in water-based systems, and distribution is evenly distributed in different formulations. Moreover, this product has high storage stability under normal conditions, and the loss of active content is minimal with time. It's of free quality and it is easy to handle and measure in automated production settings. All these physical and chemical merits render it a perfect carotenoid ingredient to manufacturers who want to rely on its consistency and stability, and performance in large-scale nutritional and functional product applications.

 

How to Store Properly?

 

1. Keep in a Cool and Dry Environment

Upon delivery, the product must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place by the manufacturer. The ideal storage temperature is lower than 25°C, and the relative humidity is less than 60%. This helps it to avoid the loss of moisture, and it helps it not to degrade as a result of heat or humidity when it is encapsulated with zeaxanthin.

2. Avoid Direct Light and Oxygen Exposure

In spite of the fact that the product is already stabilized with the help of microencapsulation, long-term exposure to direct sunlight or intensive artificial light may still provoke oxidation. The storage space ought to be a shade, and containers are to be well-sealed to minimize air interaction and preserve the active power of the powder.

3. Keep in Original Packaging

Our company professionally packs the product with multi-layer, moisture-protecting protect and lightproof packaging materials that are of international standard. Manufacturers are to store the powder in unopened containers until they are needed because this gives maximum protection against the influx of environmental factors.

4. Store Away from Odorous or Volatile Substances

Encapsulated Zeaxanthin Powder has the capacity to take in odor and volatile substances of materials in the surroundings. Strong-scented products, chemicals, or solvents should not be kept with it to ensure that the natural color and purity of the product are not lost.

5. Avoid Frequent Opening and Handling

Whenever the container is opened, there is a possibility that the product can be exposed to air and humidity. Manufacturers are encouraged to open the packaging only when needed and close it right after they use it. Additional preservation can be done by repackaging with the aid of nitrogen flushing or desiccant packs.

6. Follow First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Management

Manufacturers need to adhere to the FIFO principle, i.e., use earlier batches first before the newer ones, to maintain quality consistency. This allows freshness and traceability of the product during production.

Recommended Usage

 

Manufacturing Zeaxanthin Microcapsule Powder is an extremely versatile carotenoid ingredient capable of being efficiently incorporated into high-value production lines in various areas of the nutrition, food technology, and feed industries. It is well flowing, stable, and has a controlled particle size so that it is usually utilized as a functional additive when developing advanced nutritional blends, dry premixes, and micro granulated systems. Manufacturers in the nutraceutical industry use it in multi-carotenoid complexes, combined vitamin preparations, and encapsulated powder blends, which need a precise dosage and uniform dispersion. It is used as a stable colouring and antioxidant additive in powdered beverages, dairy-based nutrition products, and ready-to-mix health formulations in the functional food industry. In the case of the feed and aquaculture industries, it is employed in premixes of pigment and fortified premixes to enhance the nutritional and visual quality of the end feed products. The beadlet shape makes it compatible with the modern automated production equipment, like high-speed mixers, tablet presses, and encapsulation machines, and reduces losses incurred in the processing. It provides manufacturers with a ready-to-use, high-performance ingredient, which improves the stability of the product, the efficiency of the production process, and the consistency of the final product in numerous industrial applications.
