【摘要】 叶黄素作为着色剂被用于各类食品中，因其功能性较为突出，也被用于保健食品、药品中。叶黄素具有缓解视觉疲劳、抗氧化、促进脑部神经系统发育等多种保健功效，其作为保健食品原料应用时，对于剂量的设计需考虑其起效剂量与安全性剂量。然而，叶黄素作为保健食品的功能性原料使用时，其使用量没有国家标准可供参考。基于此，本文统计并分析了叶黄素在我国保健食品中的应用现状、合规性使用依据、功能作用机制研究进展；综述了国内外8个国家及地区对于叶黄素的使用依据与限量；并详细论述了叶黄素高效利用的递送系统研究进展，以期为叶黄素在我国保健食品中的研究开发和应用提供一定的参考及依据。更多还原

【Abstract】 Lutein is employed as a colorant in a diverse range of food products. Given its remarkable functional characteristics, it has also found application in health foods and pharmaceuticals. Lutein exhibits multiple health-promoting effects, including alleviating visual fatigue, exerting antioxidant properties, and facilitating the development of the brain’s nervous system. When it is utilized as a raw material for health foods, its dosage design must carefully consider both its effective and safe dosages. However, when lutein serves as a functional ingredient in health foods, there are currently no national standards available for guiding its application levels. Against this backdrop, this paper comprehensively examines and analyzes the current application status of lutein in health foods in China, the basis for its compliant use, and the latest advancements in its functional mechanisms. It provides a comprehensive review of the application guidelines and limits of lutein in eight countries and regions including China. In addition, this paper delves into recent progress in delivery systems aimed at enhancing the efficient utilization of lutein. The overarching objective is to offer valuable references and a solid foundation for the research, development, and application of lutein in health foods.更多还原
