:Mutatoxanthin
Description:
Mutatoxanthin, with the CAS number 31661-06-0, is a carotenoid pigment primarily found in certain algae and plants. It is characterized by its vibrant yellow to orange color, which is a result of its conjugated double bond system that allows for light absorption in the visible spectrum. This compound plays a significant role in photosynthesis by participating in light-harvesting processes and protecting photosynthetic organisms from oxidative stress. Mutatoxanthin is known for its antioxidant properties, which help in scavenging free radicals and mitigating cellular damage. Additionally, it may have implications in human health, particularly in relation to eye health and skin protection due to its potential to filter harmful light. The stability of mutatoxanthin can be influenced by environmental factors such as light, temperature, and pH, which can affect its efficacy and bioavailability. Overall, mutatoxanthin is an important compound in both ecological and nutritional contexts, contributing to the health of various organisms and potentially offering benefits to human health.

Mutatoxanthin
CAS:Mutatoxanthin is a lutein-type carotenoid. It provides photoprotection to chloroplasts within the thalli of the lichen genus Xanthoria by shielding them from excessive light exposure, which also imparts a golden to brown-orange hue to the thalli. Furthermore, Mutatoxanthin can serve as a taxonomic feature for classifying lichen species.Formula:C40H56O3Molecular weight:584.87
