HYG series drying equipment successfully solves the drying difficulties of Tagetes erecta

Lutein is an important antioxidant. It is a member of the Carotenoid family (a group of natural fat soluble pigments found in plants), also known as "phytolutein", and exists together with Zeaxanthin in nature.

(1) The main pigment components of the retina: Lutein and Zeaxanthin constitute the main components of vegetable pigments, fruits, flowers and other plant pigments, and are also the main pigments in the Macula region of the human eye. Human eyes contain a high amount of Lutein, which cannot be produced by human body and must be supplemented by Lutein intake. Without this element, eyes will be blind.

(2) Protect the eyes from light damage, delay eye aging, and prevent lesions: UV and blue light from sunlight entering the eyes can produce a large amount of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer. Ultraviolet rays can generally be filtered out by the cornea and lens, but blue light can penetrate the eyeball directly to the retina and macula, and Lutein in the macula can filter out blue light to avoid damage to the eyes caused by blue light. The outer layer of fat in the macular region is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage from sunlight, making it highly susceptible to degeneration.

(3) Antioxidation helps prevent cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease, and tumor diseases caused by aging in the body.

(4) Vision protection: As an antioxidant and light protection, Lutein can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve and protect vision. Especially suitable for students, drivers, and others to consume.

(5) Relieve Eye strain symptoms; (blurred vision, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, etc.)

(6) Improve the density of macular pigment, protect the macula, and promote macular development;

(7) Prevent Macular degeneration and Retinitis pigmentosa;

(8) Reduce the occurrence of hyaline warts and prevent the occurrence of AMD;

Editing of Lutein Processing Technology

At present, the Lutein sold on the market mainly comes from the deep processing of Tagetes erecta flowers. The processing technology is as follows:

Tagetes erecta flower harvesting - enzymatic hydrolysis - dehydration - drying - granulation - low temperature leaching - Lutein extract - packaging.

Lutein is non-toxic, safe, and has excellent physiological effects. It is in line with the development direction of "natural", "nutrition", and "multi-function" food additives. Along with other beneficial complementary nutrient elements, it can play an effective role in food nutrition and health care. With the improvement of extraction process and food industrialization, Lutein will have a broader prospect in health food and other fields.

In the drying process of Tagetes erecta, long drying time and uneven heating in the drying process are two major problems affecting the drying quality of Tagetes erecta. The HYG series Tagetes erecta drying equipment developed and produced by our company successfully solved the above two problems. This equipment is an ideal drying equipment for Tagetes erecta at present. It has high energy and thermal efficiency, and the loss of Lutein in Tagetes erecta can be minimized by using high temperature rapid drying process.

The following figure shows the Tagetes erecta granule effect after drying with our HYG series multi ring drum drying complete equipment. It can be seen that the dried product is golden in color and of good quality.

HYG series of Tagetes erecta drying and drying complete sets of equipment have spread all over Tagetes erecta production areas in China, becoming the most popular and trusted equipment for users. Foreign companies have also come to order, and new and old customers are welcome to negotiate cooperation!
