Lutein, a member of the carotenoid group, is a yellow pigment that exists in higher plants and other photoautotrophic organisms like algae. Lutein is used as a feed additive to brighten the colors of poultry feathers and deepen the yellow of egg yolk. Lutein is also used to add flavor and color to foods. Additionally, lutein, an effective functional nutrient, can benefit human health by, say, ameliorating cardiovascular diseases and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
