Fortification and bioaccessibility of saffron apocarotenoids in potato tubers
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 ...
