ζ-Carotene

Description:
ζ-Carotene is a carotenoid, a class of pigments found in plants and some microorganisms, known for their role in photosynthesis and as precursors to vitamin A. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which includes multiple conjugated double bonds, contributing to its vibrant orange-red color. This compound is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. ζ-Carotene is known for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress. It plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of other carotenoids and is involved in various biological processes, including light absorption in photosynthetic organisms. The presence of multiple double bonds in its structure allows for the potential formation of isomers, which can exhibit different biological activities. As a natural pigment, ζ-Carotene is of interest in food science and nutrition, as well as in the cosmetic industry for its coloring and potential health benefits.

    CAS:
    <p>Zeta-carotene is a carotenoid pigment found in plants. It is a precursor to vitamin A and can be converted by the body into retinol, which can then be used in the eye. Zeta-carotene has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells through transcriptional regulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism and cell proliferation. This carotenoid also has antioxidant properties that may help protect against cardiovascular diseases. In addition, zeta-carotene has been shown to have a positive effect on plant physiology because it is an important intermediate for photosynthesis.</p>
