CAS 640-03-9
:Antheraxanthin A
Description:
Antheraxanthin A, with the CAS number 640-03-9, is a carotenoid pigment primarily found in various plants, particularly in the chloroplasts of green leaves. It is a derivative of xanthophylls, characterized by its yellow-orange color, which contributes to the coloration of fruits and flowers. Antheraxanthin A plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by participating in light absorption and protecting plant cells from oxidative stress through its antioxidant properties. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits stability under certain conditions, although it can degrade when exposed to light and heat. Its molecular structure includes a series of conjugated double bonds, which are responsible for its light-absorbing characteristics. Antheraxanthin A is also of interest in nutritional studies due to its potential health benefits, including its role in human diets as a source of antioxidants. Overall, this compound is significant in both ecological and nutritional contexts, highlighting its importance in plant biology and human health.

Antheraxanthin
CAS:<p>Antheraxanthin is a natural compound that is synthesized by plants in response to low-light conditions. It is an epoxidase which converts the plant pigment, dehydroascorbic acid, into xanthophylls. Xanthophylls are carotenoids and have a range of functions in plants, including acting as antioxidants and protecting against photo-oxidation. Antheraxanthin has been shown to have enzyme activities that are similar to those of xanthophyll synthases, hydroxylases, and carotenoid oxygenases. Antheraxanthin also has strong biocompatibility with polymer materials and can be used as a food additive or pharmaceutical agent for the prevention of fatty acid oxidation.</p>Formula:C40H56O3Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Yellow PowderMolecular weight:584.87 g/mol
