A Mechanistic Review of β-Carotene, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin in Eye Health and Disease
Carotenoids are natural lipid-soluble antioxidants abundantly found as colorful pigments in fruits and vegetables. At least 600 carotenoids occur naturally, although about 20 of them, including β-carotene, α-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, meso ...

Towards a sustainable Dunaliella salina microalgal biorefinery for 9-cis β-carotene production
Valorisation of the efficacy of 9-cis beta-carotene in treating atherosclerosis, psoriasis, and inhibiting atherogenesis and retinitis pigmentosa is becoming increasingly urgent, but supplies of 9-cis beta-carotene are scarce and this compound is ...

The biosynthesis of cyclic carotenes [PDF]
1. The incorporation of (3RS)-[2−14C,(4R)-4−3H1]mevalonic acid into various cyclic carotenes in the fruit of the tomato mutant delta has been studied. The results confirm our previous view that the α-ionone ring of α-carotene does not arise by isomerization of a β-ionone residue, and show that the same is also true for the α-ionone ring of δ- and ...
