CAS 31272-50-1: meso-Zeaxanthin

Description:Meso-Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid, specifically a xanthophyll, which is a type of pigment found in various plants and organisms. It is a stereoisomer of zeaxanthin and is notable for its role in the human eye, particularly in the macula, where it contributes to visual health by filtering harmful blue light and acting as an antioxidant. Meso-Zeaxanthin is characterized by its bright yellow-orange color, which is typical of carotenoids, and it is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. This compound is often found in dietary sources such as green leafy vegetables and is also available as a dietary supplement. Its chemical structure includes a series of conjugated double bonds, which are responsible for its light-absorbing properties. Research has indicated that meso-zeaxanthin may have potential benefits in reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration and improving visual performance. Overall, meso-Zeaxanthin is an important compound in both nutrition and ocular health.
