:(6R,6′R)-ε,ε-Carotene
Description:
(6R,6′R)-ε,ε-Carotene, with the CAS number 472-89-9, is a carotenoid, a class of pigments found in plants and some microorganisms. This compound is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which consists of a series of conjugated double bonds, contributing to its vibrant orange color. Carotenoids like ε,ε-Carotene are known for their antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from oxidative damage. This specific isomer, with its unique stereochemistry, exhibits specific biological activities and may play a role in photosynthesis and photoprotection in plants. In addition to its natural occurrence in various fruits and vegetables, ε,ε-Carotene can be synthesized for use in food coloring and dietary supplements. Its stability can be influenced by factors such as light, heat, and oxygen, which can lead to degradation and loss of color. Overall, ε,ε-Carotene is significant not only for its aesthetic properties but also for its potential health benefits as a source of provitamin A and other bioactive compounds.

Epsilon-Carotene
CAS:<p>Epsilon-Carotene is a carotenoid that is found in plants. It is synthesized from beta-carotene through the action of enzymes called beta-carotene ketolases. Epsilon-Carotene can be cleaved by enzymes to produce lycopene and beta-cryptoxanthin. The biosynthesis of Epsilon-Carotene has been studied in a number of clinical studies, including the effect on human tissues and the prevention of cancer. Epsilon-Carotene has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.</p>Formula:C40H56Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:536.87 g/mol
