Definitions
- the present invention relates to xanthophyll composition containing( trans, meso)- zeaxanthin) , (trans, R,R) - zeaxanthin and (trans, R,R)- lutein useful for nutrition and health care and a process for its preparation. More particularly , the invention relates to a xanthophylls composition containing at least 80 % by weight of total xanthophylls , out of which the (trans,3R,3'S, meso )-zeaxanthin content is at least 80 %, the remaining being( trans, R,R )-zeaxanthin , ( trans, R,R)-lutein and trace amounts of other carotenoids .
- This invention further provides a xanthophyll composition containing at least 80 % by weight of total xanthophylls , out of which at least 50% being( trans, R,R)- zeaxanthin, the remaining being ( trans,3R,3'S, meso) -zeaxanthin , ( trans, R,R)- lutein and trace amounts of other carotenoids .
- This invention further provides a xanthophyll composition containing at least 80% by weight of total xanthophylls , out of which at least 50% being( trans, R,R)- lutein, the remaining being( trans,3R,3'S, meso) -zeaxanthin , ( trans, R 7 R)- zeaxanthin and trace amounts of other carotenoids .
- the xanthophyll composition containing (trans ,3R,3'S, meso) - zeaxanthin , (trans, R,R ) -zeaxanthin and (trans, R,R ) -lutein of the present invention is particularly useful for nutrition and health care .
- Carotenoids are yellow, red and orange pigments and are widely distributed in nature. •Although specific carotenoids have been identified in various fruits and vegetables , bird feathers, egg-yolk, poultry skin, crustaceans and macular eye region , they are especially abundant in marigoldvpetals, corn and leafy vegetables. The correlation between dietary carotenoids and carotenoids found in human serum and plasma indicate that only selected groups of carotenoids make their entry into the human blood stream to exert their effect. Each carotenoid shows an individual pattern of absorption, plasma transport and metabolism.
- Carotenoids absorb light in the 400-500 ran region of the visible spectrum. This physical property imparts the characteristic yellow / red color to the pigments.
- Carotenoids contain a conjugated backbone composed of isoprerie units, which are usually inverted at the center of the molecule, imparting symmetry. Changes in geometrical configuration about the double bonds result in the existence of many cis- and trans- isomers. Mammalian species do not synthesize carotenoids and therefore these have to be obtained from dietary sources such as fruits , vegetables and egg yolks. In the recent years , carotenoids have been reported to have several health benefits , which include prevention anti or protection against serious health disorders.
- Carotenoids are non-polar compounds classified into two sub-classes, namely , polar compounds called xanthophylls or oxy-carotenoids and non-polar hydrocarbon carotenes like ⁇ -carotene, lycopene, etc. Both the sub-classes have atleast nine conjugated double bonds responsible for the characteristic colors of the carotenoids.
- Xanthophylls have ring structures at the end of the conjugated double bond chain with polar functions like hydroxyl or keto group.
- the examples for xanthophylls include lutein, zeaxanthin, capsanthin, canthaxanthin, ⁇ -cryptoxanthin, astaxanthin, etc.
- xanthophylls like lutein and zeaxanthin have attracted the renewed attention of scientists and researchers in the biomedical, chemical and nutritional field in recent years.
- Lutein and zeaxanthin contribute to yellow and orange - yellow colours respectively.
- Lutein and zeaxanthin can be present in plant material in the free form and also in ester form.
- Lutein is present in green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale and broccoli in the free form; fruits like mango, orange and papaya; red paprika, algae, yellow corn, contain lutein in the form of its esters. It is, also present in the blood stream and various tissues in human body and particularly in the macula , lens and retina of the eye.
- Lutein is chemically designated as ⁇ , ⁇ -carotene 3,3'-diol.
- Zeaxanthin is formed by the addition of two hydroxy groups to ⁇ -carotene .
- zeaxanthin Since the hydroxy positions are in 3 and J-, the chemical name for zeaxanthin is ⁇ / ⁇ -carotene-S ⁇ '-diol.
- the common name of zeaxanthin is derived from zea mays because this carotenoid was first identified in corn ( zea mays).
- lutein is not symmetrical as the position of double bond in the left ring is not identical with the double bond position in the right ring.
- Zeaxanthin is completely symmetrical with regards to left and right rings due to an extra conjugated double bond compared to lutein .
- Xanthophylls can show both optical ( R-and S- stereo isomers ) and geometrical isomers ( trans,E- and cis,Z- ) .
- the conformation of R- and S- stereo isomers is based on CD spectral and chiral column HPLC studies while the conformation of cis- and trans- isomers is based on electronic , infrared , NMR , HPLC-MS and HPLC-KMR on-line spectroscopy studies. It is well known that when an organic molecule has a carbon atom with four different types of atoms or groups attached to it , that carbon atom is designated as chiral carbon atom.
- trans-zeaxanthin The chiral carbon atom is responsible for two different spatial arrangements leading to formation of optical isomers while the number of double bonds of the polyene chain and the presence of a methyl group and the absence of steric hindrance decide the number of trans- and cis- isomers. .
- the carbon atoms at 3 and 3' positions in the two end rings are both chiral atoms.
- trans-zeaxanthin has two chiral centers at the carbon atoms C3 and C3', based on the positions of the secondary hydroxy groups attached to them .
- the isomer causing rotation of polarized light in a right handed manner is called R-stereo isomer
- conjugated double bonds of lutein and zeaxanthin contribute to the distinctive colours of each pigment, and also influence the ability of these to quench singlet oxygen. Due to the extra conjugated double bond, zeaxanthin is believed to be a stronger antioxidant compared to lutein.
- the macular pigment of the eye is composed primarily of three xanthophylls pigments , namely ( R,R)- ⁇ lutein , (R,R) ⁇ zeaxanthin and (R,S)-zeaxanthin in the order 36, 18 and 18% of the total carotenoid content of the retina along with the remaining 20% consisting of minor carotenoids like oxo-lutein , epi-lutein and ⁇ , ⁇ -carotene 3,3'-dione (J.T.Landrum and RA-Bone/Arch-Biochem Biophys,385,28(2001)).
- xanthophyll pigments are found throughout the tissues of the eye, the highest concentration is seen in the macula lutea region of the retina, including a central depression in the retina called the fovea.
- the concentration of xanthophylls pigments increases progressively towards the center of the macula and in the fovea , the concentration of these xanthophylls pigments are approximately thousand fold higher than in other human tissues.
- the fovea is a relatively small area within the macula, in which the cone photoreceptors reach their maximal concentration. About 50% of the total amounts of the xanthophylls is concentrated in the macula where zeaxanthin dominates over lutein by ratio of 2:1 ( Handelman et al. , Measurements of carotenoids in human and monkey -retinas., in Methods in Enzymology, LPacker (editor)213A,220- 230, Academic press , NY, 1992; Billsten et al . , Photochemistry and photobiology, 78, 138-145, 2003 ) .
- zeaxanthin is 50 :50 mixture of (trans- 3R,3'R)-zeaxar ⁇ thin and (trans-3R,3'S)- zeaxanthin along with small quantity of (3S,3'S)- zeaxanthin (J.T.Landrum and R.A.Bone, Arch.Biochem.Biophy., 385, 28 , 2001) .
- the fovea is particularly important for proper visual function (e.g. > acuity) and disease and damage to this area is known to result in legal blindness.
- age-related macular degeneration AMD is characterized by pathological changes in the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and/ or the choroid and preferentially affects the macular region of the retina.
- RPE retinal pigment epithelium
- This is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in the United States among those ⁇ £ ⁇ y old and there is no established treatment available for most patients .
- the loss of central vision results in the possible inability to recognize faces. , to read or drive a car and therefore has a significant effect on an individual's ability to live independently.
- xanthophylls binding protein XBP
- the XBP is suggested to be involved in the uptake of lutein and zeaxanthin from the blood stream and stabilization of the same in the retina.
- the complex may be a better antioxidant than the free xanthophylls, facilitating improved protection of ocular tissue from oxidative damages .
- Lutein is a common carotenoid found in most fruits and vegetables, while zeaxanthin in the (R,R)- isomer form is present only in minute quantities in most fruits and vegetables. Dietary sources of zeaxanthin are limited to greens, certain yellow/ orange fruits and vegetables such as corn, nectarines, oranges, papaya, persimons and squash. Capsicum annum is another most common spice widely used which is a good source of zeaxanthin.
- Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum , fructus lyc ⁇ or Gou Qi Zi) plant has small red berries which are commonly used in Chinese home cooking and has been shown to have a high content of zeaxanthin (mainly as zeaxanthin dipalmitate) but negligible amounts of lutein.
- the dried fruit of wolfberry is prescribed by Chinese herbalists as a therapeutic agent for a number of eye diseases.
- lutein dipalmitate ( Helenien ) isolated from the blossom leafs of Helenium autumnale is reported to be used for the treatment of the visual disorders.
- the dietary source of meso-zeaxanthin is mainly from seafoods like shrimps, fish, turtle, etc, thereby the vegetarian population is deprived of meso - zeaxanthin.
- pharmaceuticals composition containing meso - zeaxanthin for treatment of retinal disorders like increasing the deposition of macular pigments in the human eye and therapeutic treatment or prophylaxis of AMD (Howard et al. , US patent No.6, 329, 432 , 2001 ) . Lutein and zeaxanthin occur naturally in trans-isomeric form in fruits , vegetables and flowers (marigold).
- the preferred bio- available form is trans-isomeric as evidenced from the data of geometric isomers compositional analysis of human plasma. ( Khachik et al. , Isolation and structure elucidation of geometric isomers of lutein , zeaxanthin in extracts of human plasma , J.Chrom.582, 153-156 , 1992) . In view of this, it is desirable to use the trans-isomeric form of meso- zeaxanthin in dietary supplements.
- trans-xanthophylls occur naturally in foods with good stability and in greater bio- vailability compared to corresponding cis-isomers, it would be useful for industry and nutritional product formulators to have (trans,3R,3'S,meso) - zeaxanthin from a commercial scale process, made from natural source material same as that which is already accepted by the market for lutein and zeaxanthin products , namely marigold.
- meso-zeaxanthin product should be made from safe solvents (GRAS solvents) for producing dietary supplements suitable for human consumption , with minimal solvent residues and specific ratios of ; lutein and zeaxanthin isomers keeping in mind market requirements .
- GRAS solvents safe solvents
- zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin as an antioxidant and also their role in the prevention of eye diseases have stimulated the R&D efforts for finding ) commercially viable process for production of zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin-rich products which can be used as safe sources of nutritional supplements for human consumption.
- meso-zeaxanthin While so far meso-zeaxanthin has not been as well recognized as a dietary supplementation ingredient compared to (3R,3'R)— zeaxanthin, it has attracted the attention of health practitioners and pharmacologists who have evinced interest for use of meso-zeaxanthin in formulations for increasing macular pigment density in the human eye and for therapeutic treatment or prophylaxis of diseases and disorders of macula in particular AMD (Howard et al . , US Patent No. 6, 218, 436 , 2001 ; 6, 329, 432 , 2001) .

- Rodriguez has described a method of isomerising lutein to yield a mixture of zeaxanthin epimers by employing non aqueous media and heating a mixture of alkali and propylene glycol. Though the circular dichroism spectrum indicated the formation of meso-isomer of zeaxanthin , no attempts were made to quantify the meso-zeaxanthin content and also provide the composition of the isomerised products.( US patent No. 5, 973, 211, 1999) .

- composition was analysed by chiral column HPLC and LC-ApcI-MS and found that it contained (trans,R,S,meso)-- zeaxanthin in amount of >90% based on the total xanthophylls content , the amount of (trans,R,R- zeaxanthin was found to be >5% and the amount of (trans,-R,R)-lutein >3% AUC .
- the marigold oleoresin ( 100 g ) containing 10.5 g total xanthophylls (measured by spectrophotometric method) and trans -lutein and trans,zeaxanfhin 67.34 and 5.14 % AUC respectively by HPLC was transferred into a three necked RB flask ( 500 ml capacity) followed by addition of 50g phenyl carbinol and 50g potassium hydroxide.
- the flask was fixed in an oil bath maintaining the temperature of the oil between 108-110 degree. C .
- composition when analysed by chiral column HPLC and LC-ApcI-MS showed that the composition consisted of 92 % (trans,3R,3'S,meso)-zeaxanthin out of the total xanthophyll content .
- the amount of (trans, R,R)- zeaxanthin was found to be 4 %and the amount of (trans, R,R)- lutein was found to be 4% based on peak areas .
- composition has all the essential macular xanthophylls including (tranS / SR/S'S/mesoJ-zeaxanthin , (tranS / R / R ⁇ zeaxanthin and ( trans,R,R) - lutein and provision for obtaining varying contents of the individual xanthophylls.
- the xanthophylls composition meets safety considerations because of the use of GRAS reagents and hence is useful for nutrition and dietary supplements for eye health.
- Both retinyl lutein and lutein in the present case are derived from plant source and both of them under go a common allylic isomeric rearrangement to form trans,meso- zeaxanthin , thereby establishing similarity and superiority over the one prepared completely by synthetic route.
- Naturally occurring lutein can be sourced in plenty from marigold flowers , a widely cultivated commercial crop and also the processed products like oleoresin,free lutein and lutein ester.
- composition is useful for nutrition and health care and as colorants for food and feeds and is safe for human consumption
