Stereoisomers of Colourless Carotenoids from the Marine Microalga Dunaliella salina
Molecules, 2020 Carotenoids comprise a diverse range of naturally occurring stereoisomers, which differ in their physico-chemical properties. Their biosynthesis begins with phytoene, which is a rarity among carotenoids because it is colourless.

The stereospecific biosynthesis of phytoene and polyunsaturated carotenes [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1967 1. The incorporation of [2-(14)C,(5R)-5-(3)H(1)]mevalonic acid and [2-(14)C,5-(3)H(2)]-mevalonic acid into phytoene, phytofluene, zeta-carotene, neurosporene, alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-carotene and lycopene by slices of fruit from two tomato mutants (delta and tangerine) and into alpha- and beta-carotene by bean leaves has been studied. 2. In the

Stereochemistry of phytoene biosynthesis by isolated chloroplasts [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1969 The incorporation of [2−14C,(5R)-5−3H1]MVA* and [2−14C,5−3H2]MVA into geranylgeraniol and phytoene by a preparation of ‘non-aqueous’ bean leaf chloroplasts has been studied. In the formation of phytoene from two molecules of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, the loss of hydrogen is stereospecific, the hydrogen atom lost from C-1 of each molecule of ...

Potential of golden potatoes to improve vitamin A and vitamin E status in developing countries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most widely consumed plant food by humans. Its tubers are rich in starch and vitamin C, but have low or null levels of essential nutrients such as provitamin A and vitamin E.
