thumb|The characteristic color of egg yolk results from the presence of a xanthophyll pigment typical in color of lutein or zeaxanthin of the xanthophylls, a division of the carotenoids group. Xanthophylls (originally phylloxanthins) are yellow pigments that occur widely in nature and form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group; the other division is formed by the carotenes. The name is from Greek: (), meaning "yellow", and (), meaning "leaf"), due to their formation of the yellow band seen in early chromatography of leaf pigments.

La xantófila, xantofila o luteína (del griego ξανθος, xantos, ‘rubio’ y φυλλο, filos, ‘hoja’; anteriormente, filoxantina) es un compuesto químico perteneciente al grupo de los carotenoides que posee uno o más átomos de oxígeno en su estructura. En la Unión Europea, el código alimentario para esta familia de compuestos es E-161. La xantófila son compuestos pigmentados que se encuentran de forma natural en muchas plantas y presentan también acción foto-sintética. Estos pigmentos, más resistentes a la oxidación que la clorofila, proporcionan a las hojas secas sus tonos amarillentos y parduzcos
