CAS 144-67-2: Zeaxanthin dipalmitate
Description:Zeaxanthin dipalmitate is an ester derived from zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment found in various fruits and vegetables, and palmitic acid. It is characterized by its yellow to orange color, which is typical of carotenoids, and is known for its antioxidant properties. This compound is often utilized in the food and cosmetic industries due to its ability to provide color and potential health benefits, including supporting eye health by filtering harmful blue light. Zeaxanthin dipalmitate is lipid-soluble, which enhances its stability and bioavailability in formulations. Its chemical structure features two palmitic acid chains esterified to the zeaxanthin backbone, contributing to its hydrophobic nature. The substance is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products, and its antioxidant activity is attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress. Overall, zeaxanthin dipalmitate serves as a valuable ingredient in various applications, promoting both aesthetic and health-related benefits.
