Products Description of LuteinCAS127-40-2

Industrial grade xanthophyll boasts a minimum purity of 99%, presenting as orange yellow crystalline powder without peculiar smell. Its melting point ranges from 190℃ to 194℃ accompanied by decomposition, and it will break down under high temperature boiling conditions. At 25℃, its vapor pressure is extremely low, and the relative density reaches 1.28 under 20℃ ambient condition. This compound cannot dissolve in water, while it is soluble in chloroform, dichloromethane and various vegetable oils, and slightly soluble in maleic-anhydride.html">material/ethanol.html">ethanol solvent. The product keeps stable when stored in cool and dark surroundings, and it is incompatible with strong oxidizing substances and long term light exposure.Xanthophyll

Product Application of XanthophyllCAS127-40-2

Xanthophyll is one of the most ubiquitous carotenoid alcohols existing in nature. It was firstly separated and extracted from egg yolk. In addition, it can also be acquired through chromatographic isolation from nettle plants, algae organisms and flower petals of a large number of yellow flowering plant species.
