Data_Sheet_1_Fortification and bioaccessibility of saffron apocarotenoids in potato tubers.docx
, 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 ...

Metabolism of carotenoids and apocarotenoids during ripening of raspberry fruit
, 2008 Carotenoids are important lipophilic antioxidants in fruits. Apocarotenoids such as α-ionone and β-ionone, which are breakdown products of carotenoids, are important for the flavor characteristics of raspberry fruit, and have also been suggested to have ...

Apocarotenoids: Emerging Roles in Mammals
, 2018 Apocarotenoids are cleavage products of C40 isoprenoid pigments, named carotenoids, synthesized exclusively by plants and microorganisms. The colors of flowers and fruits and the photosynthetic process are examples of the biological properties conferred
