:9-cis-β-Carotene
Description:
9-cis-β-Carotene, with the CAS number 13312-52-2, is a carotenoid, a class of pigments found in plants that are responsible for the yellow, orange, and red colors in many fruits and vegetables. This compound is a geometric isomer of β-carotene, characterized by the presence of a cis double bond at the 9th carbon position in its molecular structure. It is a fat-soluble compound, which means it dissolves in fats and oils, and is known for its antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals in the body. 9-cis-β-Carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, playing a crucial role in vision, immune function, and skin health. It is also involved in photosynthesis, contributing to the light-harvesting process in plants. The compound is typically found in various dietary sources, including carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens. Its stability can be affected by light, heat, and oxygen, which may lead to degradation over time.
