citroxanthin

Description:
Citroxanthin is a carotenoid pigment, primarily known for its presence in various fruits and vegetables, contributing to their yellow to orange coloration. It is a naturally occurring compound with the chemical formula C40H56, and it is classified under the larger family of carotenoids, which are known for their antioxidant properties. Citroxanthin is characterized by its conjugated double-bond system, which is responsible for its color and its ability to absorb light in the visible spectrum. This pigment is often studied for its potential health benefits, including its role in promoting eye health and its antioxidant activity, which may help in reducing oxidative stress in the body. Additionally, citroxanthin is of interest in the food industry for its use as a natural colorant. Its stability and solubility in organic solvents make it suitable for various applications, although it may be sensitive to light and heat, which can affect its efficacy and color. Overall, citroxanthin is a valuable compound in both nutritional and industrial contexts.
