The biosynthesis of cyclic carotenes [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1967 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 ...

Biosynthesis and extraction of high-value carotenoid from algae
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021 Algae possess a considerable potential as bio-refinery for the scale-up production of high-value natural compounds like—carotenoids. Carotenoids are accessory pigments in the light-harvesting apparatus and also act as antioxidants and photo-protectors in

Metabolism of Alpha-carotene [PDF]
Nature, 1966 IN the course of an earlier investigation into the utilization of carotene by the rat as a source of vitamin A, it was noted that there was a consistent difference between the absorption spectra of the liver non-saponifiable fractions from those rats fed vitamin A and those fed a mixture of 90 per cent beta- and 10 per cent alpha-carotene1.

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2003 Foliar boron fertilisation has had positive influence only on carotene content. Results were evaluated with chemical analyses and sensory tests. It has been observed that sensory tests are able to detect bitter flavour and also to measure its interaction

Aluminum Pillared Clay (Al-PILC) for Adsorption of Dyes in Red Fruit Oil
Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2021 Red fruit oil contains carotene, which is dark orange, so it is not very popular. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the intensity of the color. Yesterday, in this study, the synthesis and characterization of Al-pillared clay (Al-PILC) from light and ...
