Zeaxanthin is a significant carotenoid found abundantly in corn and green leafy vegetables. It plays a crucial role in human health, particularly in eye health. Zeaxanthin has strong antioxidant properties, neutralizing free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting cells from damage. Along with lutein, zeaxanthin forms macular pigment in the retina, helping filter blue light and prevent photo-oxidative damage, thus reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Additionally, zeaxanthin may help prevent cardiovascular diseases, enhance immune function, and exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. Given its diverse functions and health benefits, analyzing zeaxanthin quantitatively and qualitatively is essential in food science, nutrition, and medical research.
