CAS 472-70-8: Cryptoxanthin
Description:Cryptoxanthin is a carotenoid, a class of pigments found in various plants and microorganisms, known for their antioxidant properties. It is a tetraterpene, characterized by its structure comprising 40 carbon atoms and a series of conjugated double bonds, which contribute to its vibrant orange-yellow color. Cryptoxanthin is a precursor to vitamin A, playing a crucial role in human nutrition and health. It is primarily found in fruits such as papaya, peaches, and oranges, as well as in some leafy green vegetables. The substance is fat-soluble, meaning it is best absorbed in the presence of dietary fats. Its antioxidant properties help combat oxidative stress in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Cryptoxanthin is also studied for its potential benefits in eye health and immune function. As a natural pigment, it is often used in food coloring and dietary supplements. Overall, cryptoxanthin is significant not only for its nutritional value but also for its role in promoting overall health.
