Fortification and bioaccessibility of saffron apocarotenoids in potato tubers [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Carotenoids are C40 isoprenoids with well-established roles in photosynthesis, pollination, photoprotection, and hormone biosynthesis. The enzymatic or ROS-induced cleavage of carotenoids generates a group of compounds named apocarotenoids, with an ...

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high-value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites
