Lutein as a functional food ingredient: Stability and bioavailability

Lutein is a carotenoid found in numerous organisms ranging from bacteria to algae, yeasts, and plants. The biological importance of this pigment emerged from various studies demonstrating its antioxidant potential, playing a significant role in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration and...
