• Beschreibung: Violaxanthin - solution in ethanol is a carotenoid compound, typically used in biochemical and physiological research. This product is derived from natural sources, such as plants and algae, where violaxanthin plays a crucial role in the xanthophyll cycle, contributing to thermal energy dissipation and photoprotection in photosynthetic organisms. The mode of action involves the reversible conversion of violaxanthin to other xanthophylls such as antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin, depending on light conditions, to regulate energy flux and protect against photooxidative damage.
