E161b lutein

E161b Lutein is a natural food colouring derived from plants like marigolds and spinach. It gives foods a yellow to orange hue and is commonly used in various food products to enhance their appearance.

To make E161b Lutein, manufacturers extract the pigment from plants like marigolds and then purify it to create a concentrated form. This concentrated pigment is what is used in food production to add colour to different items.

You may find E161b Lutein listed on food labels as a colouring agent. It helps give foods like pasta, dairy products, sauces, and desserts a vibrant yellow colour. Keep an eye out for this ingredient when you're scanning food labels for products that contain added colours.
