Lucantin^® Yellow 10% NXT - Choose your egg yolk color

Everybody's favorite color for everybody's favorite food.

Poultry cannot produce carotenoids on their own, which is why the color of egg yolks and broiler skin depends on the carotenoids combination in their diets. However, it is not only the quantity of pigments that matters but also their bioavailability and color intensity. With our high-quality Lucantin^® Yellow 10% NXT (C-30 ester) a reliable yellow pigmentation of egg yolks and broiler skin is achieved.
