QUALITY STANDARDS:

• Purity: It should be of very high purity (≥ 95–99% extract solids) and not contain any other or extraneous materials, including synthetic dyes, artificial additives, adulterants, or undeclared carriers.
• Moisture Content: The moisture content must be ≤ 5% (loss on drying) to ensure the stability of the product and to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
• Color: A yellow to dark orange-brown powder that is typical of marigold flower extract, depending on the concentration of lutein and the method of processing.
• Ash Content: The total ash content should usually be ≤ 5%, and the amount of acid insoluble ash should be ≤ 1%. 
• Lutein Content: The carotenoid compounds that are responsible for the activity are mainly lutein (with naturally occurring zeaxanthin) and are usually present at 5%–20% by weight or as per the buyer’s requirement.

Processing of Marigold Extract

• The marigold flowers that were chosen, cleaned, and dried are ground and made into less granular form. 
• To get the extract that is rich in lutein, the extraction process is done by utilizing the solvents that are food-grade.
• The extract is subjected to filtration and is then concentrated using the method of vacuum. 
• The concentrated extract is then converted into a free-flowing powder through either spray drying or vacuum drying techniques. 
• The powder is then made to contain the necessary lutein content by doing standardization and subjected to quality testing.

Packaging of Marigold Extract

• Packed under hygienic, GMP-compliant conditions.
• Inner packing in double food-grade polyethylene bags.
• Outer packing in HDPE or Fiber drums.
• Standard pack sizes: 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg, or 25 kg.
