Marigold Flower Extract Lutein is present in plants as fatty-acid esters, with one or two
fatty acids bound to the two hydroxyl-groups. For this reason, saponification(de-esterfication)
of lutein esters to yield free lutein may yield lutein in any ratio from 1:1 to 1:2 molar
ratio with the saponifying fatty acid. Lutein is isomeric with zeaxanthin, differing only
in the placement of one double bond.
