Abstract: The present study was conducted with an objective of “Evaluation of gaillardia genotypes for xanthophyll yield under Northern dry zone of Karnataka†from petals because these dietary xanthophylls are known to reduce the risks of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. Fifteen genotypes were studied viz UHSBGL-1, UHSBGL-2, UHSBGL-3, UHSBGL-4, UHSBGL-5, UHSBGL-6, UHSBGL-7, UHSBGL-8, UHSBGL-9, UHSBGL-10, UHSBGL-11, UHSBGL-12, UHSBGL-13, UHSBGL-14 and UHSBGL-15 which withstand typical environmental conditions of northern dry zone of Karnataka and the genotypes produced flowers that do not vary in color and were relatively unaffected by any pests and diseases. Xanthophyll was extracted from milled gaillardia petals using hexane method of extraction. However, overall high xanthophyll yield was obtain in genotype UHSBGL-5 (9.11g/kg) followed by UHSBGL-14 (6.11g/kg). These genotypes were found to be suitable to undergo further commercialization or subsequent processing and standardization of extraction procedure for economic, culinary and pharmaceutical benefits.
