Definitions

  • Carotenoids are amongst the most widespread of the naturally occurring groups of pigments and are found in all families of the plant and animal kingdoms. To date, as many as seven hundred carotenoids have been isolated from various sources and their chemical structures have been characterized. Numerous epidemiological studies in various populations have shown that consumption of substantial amounts of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids reduces the risk of acquiring several types of cancers. As a result, for nearly two decades, scientists have been focussing most of their attention on investigating the protective effect of beta-carotene in prevention of cancer, cardiovascular and eye diseases. This is despite the fact that beta-carotene is only one of the prominent carotenoids found in fruits and vegetables whose consumption has been associated with health benefits in humans. The reasons for such an intense focus can be attributed to the pro- vitamin A activity of beta-carotene and the lack of commercial availability of other prominent food carotenoids.

Furthermore, according to the Food and Drug administration's (FDA) Federal Register Documents, Code of Federal Regulations & Food, Drug, and Cosmetic act, n-hexane is considered among the solvents whose levels in foods and pharmaceutical products should be limited. The classification of organic solvents by the FDA will be described later in this text.

  • the process described here provides a convenient and economical route to lutein, zeaxanthin, and several minor carotenoids by employing a simultaneous extraction and saponification procedure at room temperature for only a few hours. Most importantly, this process addresses all the disadvantages and concerns with regard to all of the previously patented procedures described above. As a result, the lutein (from Marigolds) and zeaxanthin (from LCM berries) obtained by this process are in purity of 97% or greater and are therefore suitable for human consumption. This extraction and purification process has also been successfully employed for isolation of lutein and several minor carotenoids from green plants which serve as an alternative source for commercial production of lutein. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention employs a simultaneous extraction and hydrolysis (saponification) procedure for isolation and purification of lutein, zeaxanthin, and several rare carotenoids from Marigold flowers, LCM berries, and green plants.
  • the plants are mixed with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and sufficient amounts of ethanol or methanol (preferably food grade ethanol) with the addition of either 5% or 10% potassium or sodium hydroxide to maintain the pH at 12 and the mixture is homogenized at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
  • THF tetrahydrofuran
  • ethanol or methanol preferably food grade ethanol
  • This process not only extracts carotenoids from plants under mild conditions, within a few hours, but it simultaneously hydrolyses the fatty acid esters of major dihydroxycarotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin as well as monohydroxycarotenoids such as alpha- cryptoxanthin and beta-cryptoxanthin which are present in minute quantities. As a result, the free and un-esterified forms of these hydroxycarotenoids are regenerated. In the case of green plants, in which lutein is present in its free form, the simultaneous extraction and saponification results in the conversion of chlorophylls to their water soluble derivatives and allows the removal of these compounds from lutein, beta-carotene, and other carotenoids.
  • This treatment removes the salts of fatty acid esters, the base (potassium or sodium hydroxide), and the water soluble plant components.
  • the resulting crystals of lutein or zeaxanthin are approximately 70% pure and contain minor quantities of other carotenoids.
  • lutein or zeaxanthin are dissolved in minimum amount of THF, and water is added until the solution becomes cloudy; at this point the recrystalliztion of these compounds takes place.
  • the mixture is then centrifuged and the solid crystals are washed with water or alcohol to remove the THF. After drying under high vacuum, the crystalline lutein or zeaxanthin are obtained in purities of 97% or greater.
  • 70% lutein or zeaxanthin may be purified by passing a solution of these compounds in THF and water through a column packed with n- silica gel. After collection of the fraction containing lutein or zeaxanthin (greater than 97% purity), the THF is evaporated and the residue is washed with water or alcohol and dried as described above.

  • lutein epoxide from greens
  • all-E and Z isomers of carotenoids refer to all-trans and cis isomers of these compounds.
  • all-trans and cis which have been used with the old nomenclature, are no longer appropriate.
  • lutein or zeaxanthin refer to the most common geometrical forms (all-E or all-trans) of these carotenoids in plants.
  • lutein esters or "zeaxanthin esters” refers to either mono- or di- esters without limitation.
  • the present invention applies a simultaneous extraction and saponification process to three generally different plants sources for isolation of lutein and zeaxanthin; these are: dried petals of Marigolds (Tagete erecta), LCM berries (Lycium Chinese Mill), and several green vegetables such as Kale (Brassica oleracia, var. acephala), Spinach (Spinacia oleracia), and Collard green (Brassica oleracia, var. Champion). These plant sources of carotenoids are described as follows.
  • Marigold flowers The dried petals of marigold flowers, are harvested and prepared in Central America and are imported into the U.S. Flowers are hand-picked and ensiled to preserve them until they can be economically dried.
  • the marigold blossoms are then placed in a freeze drying apparatus and are dehydrated under controlled conditions. After dehydration, the flowers are put through a series of air separators and mechanical separators where the petals are separated from any other materials and converted to a homogenous Marigold meal.
  • the carotenoids in Marigold meal are esterified with fatty acids such as lauric, myristic, and palmitic acid, however, upon hydrolysis the parent hydroxycarotenoids are regenerated.
  • the major hydroxycarotenoid in Marigold is lutein which is normally accompanied by 3-6% of its isomeric compound, zeaxanthin.
  • LCM berries are normally grown in China and can be obtained from most of the Chinese supermarkets across the U.S. However, a variety of this fruit is also currently grown on a commercial scale by Rehnborg Center for Nutrition in Lakeview, California.
  • the author isolated several grams of zeaxanthin from LCM berries for a human supplementation study and demonstrated that this plant is an excellent source of zeaxanthin (Khachik et al., J. Cellular Biochem. 1995, 22:236-246).
  • Zeaxanthin in LCM berries is mostly esterified with palmitic acid and only trace amounts of this compound is esterified with lauric and myristic acids.
  • LCM berries do not contain any measurable amount of lutein but several other carotenoids such as alpha-cryptoxanthin, beta- cryptoxanthin, and beta-carotene are present in this fruit in minute quantities.
  • carotenoids such as alpha-cryptoxanthin, beta- cryptoxanthin, and beta-carotene are present in this fruit in minute quantities.
  • large quantities of the berries were purchased from a local Chinese supermarket.

  • Class 2 Solvents to be limited. Nongenotoxic animal carcinogens or possible causative agents of other irreversible toxicity such as neurotoxicity or teratogenicity; solvents suspected of other significant but reversible toxi cities.
  • Class 3 Solvents with low toxic potential to man. No health based exposure limit is needed. Class 3 solvents have Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) of 50 milligrams (mg) or more per day.
  • PDE Permitted Daily Exposure
  • Ethanol and THF employed by the present invention are listed by the FDA in Class 3 and are therefore quite safe for commercial production of carotenoids for human use.
  • the advantage of THF in compare to other organic solvents of Class 3 is due to the strong solubility of carotenoids in this solvent which allows the extraction of these pigments from the matrices of various plants in an efficient and speedy manner.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet, simultanément, d'extraire, de saponifier et d'isoler la lutéine et la zéaxanthine, ainsi qu'une combinaison de plusieurs caroténoïdes rares, avec une pureté élevée, dans des plantes, sans utiliser de solvants organiques nocifs. On a recueilli des cristaux de lutéine renfermant 5 % de zéaxanthine dans des pétales séchés de fleurs de tagète (Tagete erecta), la zéaxanthine étant isolée et purifiée à partir de baies de Lycium chinese Mill (LCM). On a utilisé le même procédé pour isoler et purifier un mélange de lutéine, de bêta-carotène, de néoxanthine, de violaxanthine et d'époxyde de lutéine à partir de végétaux verts (de préférence, chou fourrager, chou rosette et épinards). Dans une moindre mesure, ces végétaux ont également été la source de plusieurs caroténoïdes rares comme l'alpha-cryptoxanthine (tagète) et la bêta-cryptoxanthine (baies de LCM). Le procédé fait appel à une combinaison de tétrahydrofurane (THF), de solution alcoolique de potassium ou d'hydroxyde de sodium, à température ambiante et en conditions douces, pour déclencher quantitativement dans un délai de deux heures l'hydrolyse en formes libres des esters d'acides gras de la lutéine et de la zéaxanthine dans les fleurs de tagète et les baies de LCM. S'agissant des végétaux verts, qui contiennent la lutéine sous forme libre, l'opération simultanée d'extraction et d'hydrolyse permet d'éliminer rapidement les chlorophylles indésirables. Après filtration, on laisse évaporer le THF et l'alcool, et on soumet le résidu à un lavage séquentiel à l'eau et à l'alcool de manière à éliminer le THF, la base, et dans le cas de végétaux verts, les chlorophylles et leurs dérivés. Les cristaux de lutéine et de zéaxanthine résultants, issus de leurs sources végétales respectives, sont purs à environ 70 %, et on peut les purifier plus avant, soit par recristallisation, soit par injection de leur mise en solution de THF/eau dans une colonne à gel de silice N. On peut obtenir comme sous-produits des dernières étapes de purification mentionnées plusieurs caroténoïdes rares comme l'anhydrolutéine et l'alpha-cryptoxanthine (à partir des tagètes) et la bêta-cryptoxanthine (à partir de baies de LCM). Les caroténoïdes purifiés isolés selon le procédé décrit sont dépourvus d'impuretés et constituent une source de suppléments nutritifs sans risques pour la consommation humaine, fournissant par ailleurs des colorants pour les aliments destinés à la consommation humaine.
