marigold extract lutein

At present, marigold has begun to be planted on a large scale. Because it is easy to plant and harvest and has many uses, it has developed into an industry.

Marigold likes warmth, sunshine, vigorous growth, strong adaptability, and resistance to transplanting. Its flowers are ideal raw materials for extracting lutein, which can be widely used in food, feed, medicine, cosmetics, industrial dyeing, and other industries, and the product market is in short supply.

In 2013, the price of 1 gram of marigold extract-lutein in the international market was close to that of 1 gram of gold, and the price of flavonoid glycosides, a deep-processed product of marigold extract, was 4 times that of gold, showing a broad prospect.

The flowers, leaves, and roots of marigold can be used as medicine and can be used to treat bronchitis, keratitis, and pharyngitis.

Marigold essential oil is also used in perfumes.

The roots and leaves of marigold are poisonous and nematicidal, and it is one of the few nematicidal plants in nature, so marigold is also used in pesticides.
