Marigold is a member of the Asteraceae family and is either an annual or perennial herb. In various cultures, its petals are used in food and medicine. Marigold is the main raw material for the extraction of lutein and carotenoids. One significant carotenoid is lutein. This hue produces a warm yellow tint and is well-stabilized against light, heat, and pH. It is an indispensable additive in industrial and agricultural production and plays a significant role in enhancing product color. Because of its antioxidant properties, luteolin is also used in functional foods.

Lutein is an important natural pigment, a natural health care product and the green part of a healthy diet. In the human body, lutein and zeaxanthin form the main pigments in the center of the retina. Although lutein is not considered an essential nutrient, studies have shown it plays a major role in maintaining normal vision and preventing eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and cataracts (cataracts). Adequate intake of carotenoids may also reduce the incidence of colon cancer and heart disease.
