  • Absorption and bioavailability of carotenoids, formulations and applications
    Patent number: 7435846
    Abstract: A process for obtaining a microscopic physical state of xanthophylls or oxycarotenoids derivatives forms such as diacetates or dipropionates derivatives, which are readily incorporated in the digestive system as micelles providing an improved bioavailability, as compared to the bioavailability of carotenoids that are ingested in diverse preparations that contain microscopic carotenoids crystals and a method for its application.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 14, 2008
    Assignee: Industrial Organica, S.A. De C.V.
    Inventors: Ricardo Montoya Olvera, José Torres Quiroga
  • Method for increasing the health condition of crustaceans in aquaculture
    Publication number: 20080107768
    Abstract: This invention is related to a method for improving the health condition of crustaceans grown in captivity, by the incorporation of a carotenoids concentrate obtained from a natural source to the feed of crustacean species, in order to improve the health condition of such aquatic animals. The improved health condition results in a noticeable gain in biomass and in a more attractive color.

  • Process for the isomerization of lutein
    Patent number: 5523494
    Abstract: A process to obtain a product with a high zeaxanthin content, to be used mainly as an ingredient in poultry feed to enhance the pigmentation of broiler chickens and egg yolk, by reacting at a controlled temperature and pressure, marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) meal or its oleoresin, or formulations containing lutein, with strongly alkaline aqueous solutions under controlled conditions, to isomerize the luteine into zeaxanthin in a product with a higher pigmenting activity.
