Silencing of beta-carotene hydroxylase increases total carotenoid and beta-carotene levels in potato tubers [PDF]
Background Beta-carotene is the main dietary precursor of vitamin A. Potato tubers contain low levels of carotenoids, composed mainly of the xanthophylls lutein (in the beta-epsilon branch) and violaxanthin (in the beta-beta branch).

Thermal isomerization of synthetic all-(E)-beta-carotene yielded a multi-component mixture composed of more than sixteen (Z)-beta-carotenes and two thermo-cyclized isomers. They were separated and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Ten of these were characterized by spectroscopic methods as four mono-(Z)-, five di-(Z)-, and one tri-(Z)-
