Carotenoids play important roles in living organisms. However, animals cannot synthesize carotenoids by themselves, and they must absorb and accumulate carotenoids from their diets in which some key genes are involved. In present study, a gene named StAR-

New natural carotenoid sources. V. Chlorophyll and carotenoid content of Beta vulgaris
Chlorophylls and carotenoid pigments were investigated in leaves of beet (Beta vulgaris L.) obtained from SDE Cluj-Napoca, harvested in September 1987. Leaves had a higher content both in chlorophylls and carotenoids than petioles.

Impact of a new nucleo-cytoplasmic composition on the citrus fuit quality : [23] [PDF]
Organic acids, sugars and carotenoids are implied in the fruit quality. A cybrid has been obtained by symmetric protoplast fusion between Willow leaf mandarin (Citrus deliciosa Ten.) and Eureka lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Buno.).

Carotenoids from Marine Organisms: Biological Functions and Industrial Applications
As is the case for terrestrial organisms, carotenoids represent the most common group of pigments in marine environments. They are generally biosynthesized by all autotrophic marine organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, algae and fungi.

Phase-controlled dual-comb coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopic imaging [PDF]
Coherent Raman microscopy provide label-free imaging by interrogating the intrinsic vibration of biomolecules. Nevertheless, trade-off between high chemical-specificity and high imaging-speed currently exists in transition from spectroscopy to spectroscopic imaging when capturing dynamics in complex living systems.

Assessment of carotenoid production by Dunaliella salina in different culture systems and operation regimes [PDF]
The effect of operation regime and culture system on carotenoid productivity by the halotolerant alga Dunaliella salina has been analyzed. Operation strategies tested included batch and semi continuous regime, as well as a two-stage approach run ...

Effect of drying and storage on the content of provitamin a of orange fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoa batatas) : Direct sun radiations do not have significant impact [PDF]
The retention of pro-vitamin A was determined on Orange Fleshed Sweetpotato after drying and storage. Preliminary trials were undertaken to compare various dryers in France (sun, solar and indoor-cross flow dryers) and to optimise and assess carotenoid ...

Evaluation of fruit quality in a lemon cybrid with mandarin mitochondria [PDF]
Nutritional and organoleptic qualities of fruit are currently very important objectives for plant breeders. Organic acids, sugars and carotenoids were studied by high liquid chromatography on the pulp of a citrus cybrid.
