:13′-cis-β-Carotene
Description:
13′-cis-β-Carotene, with the CAS number 6811-73-0, is a carotenoid, a class of pigments found in plants that contribute to their color and play a role in photosynthesis. This compound is a geometric isomer of β-carotene, characterized by the presence of a cis double bond at the 13′ position, which affects its physical and chemical properties compared to its all-trans counterpart. It is typically orange in color and is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. 13′-cis-β-Carotene is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from oxidative damage. It is also a precursor to vitamin A, essential for various biological functions, including vision and immune response. In terms of stability, this isomer can be more sensitive to light and heat compared to the all-trans form, which may influence its applications in food and cosmetic industries. Overall, 13′-cis-β-Carotene is significant in nutrition and health, particularly in its role as a dietary source of provitamin A.

13-cis-β-Carotene-d5
CAS:Controlled Product<p>Applications 13-cis-β-Carotene-d5 is labelled 13-cis-β-Carotene (C184225) which is an isomer of β-Caroten (C184250). Carrots are one of the highest dietary sources of β-carotene and are naturally high in the (all-E)-β-carotene isomer, which has higher bioavailability, provitamin A activity, and antioxidant capacity compared to Z (cis) isomers.<br>References Chen, B., et al.: J.

CAS:<p>13-cis-b-Carotene is a carotenoid that has been classified as a provitamin. It is not active in humans but it can be converted to b-carotene, an active form of vitamin A. 13-Cis-b-Carotene is found in plant foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes and can be used for the prevention of atherosclerosis and heart disease. 13-Cis-b-Carotene has been shown to have antiatherogenic effects by inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and may also inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. The conversion of 13-cis-b-carotene to b-carotene occurs through a number of reactions, including beta oxidation, desaturation, and hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases.</p>Formula:C40H56Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:536.87 g/mol
