CAS 472-92-4
:δ-Carotene
Description:
δ-Carotene, with the CAS number 472-92-4, is a member of the carotenoid family, which are organic pigments found in plants and some microorganisms. It is a tetraterpene, characterized by its long carbon chain structure, consisting of 40 carbon atoms and 56 hydrogen atoms. δ-Carotene is known for its vibrant orange color, which is attributed to its conjugated double bond system that allows for light absorption in the visible spectrum. This compound is a precursor to vitamin A and plays a significant role in photosynthesis and photoprotection in plants. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including food coloring and nutritional supplements. Additionally, δ-Carotene exhibits antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from oxidative damage. Its stability can be affected by factors such as light, heat, and oxygen, which may lead to degradation over time. Overall, δ-Carotene is an important compound in both biological and industrial contexts.
