The Occurrenee of β-Carotene and "Phytofluene" in the Wood of Acacia acuminata

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Scientific Research Series A: Physical Sciences, 1949
The separation from extracts of Acacia acuminata, by chromatographic procedures, of β-carotene and a colourless fluorescent oil of similar adsorption properties is described. On the basis of its absorption spectrum and other properties the fluorescent oil is considered to be closely related to and possibly identical with the colourless carotenoid ...

Phytofluene as a Highly Efficient UVA Photosensitizer of Singlet Oxygen Generation

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2020
Phytoene and phytofluene - uncolored C40 carotenoids with short chain of conjugated double bonds (3 and 5, respectively) - are known to be universal precursors in biosynthesis of colored carotenoids in photosynthesizing organisms. It is commonly recognized that C40 carotenoids are photoprotectors of cells and tissues.

A Carotenoid Algal Preparation Containing Phytoene and Phytofluene Inhibited LDL Oxidation In Vitro

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2008
The antioxidative effect of the carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene in biological systems has not yet been studied. We therefore sought to investigate the effect of these carotenoids, isolated from the alga Dunaliella bardawil, in a biological system and used the in vitro low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation method to assay their antioxidative ...

Phytoene, phytofluene and ζ-carotene isomers from a Scenedesmus obliquus mutant

Phytochemistry, 1977
Abstract A number of mutant strains of the green alga, Scenedesmus obliquus , when grown in the dark, accumulated ζ-carotene as their major carotenoid together with appreciable concentrations of phytoene and phytofluene. The phytoene was almost entirely the 15- cis isomer, and phytofluene was also present mainly as the 15- cis form, whereas the ζ ...

Bioavailability of the isomer mixture of phytoene and phytofluene-rich alga Dunaliella bardawil in rat plasma and tissues

Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2002
Dunaliella bardawil, a beta-carotene-accumulating alga was treated by the bleaching herbicide norflurazon to select sub-species rich with a mixture of 9-cis and all-trans stereoisomers of phytoene and phytofluene. The present study determines the bioavailability of phytoene and phytofluene with their stereoisomers in rats fed on a diet supplemented ...

The roles of isomers of phytoene, phytofluene and ?-carotene in carotenoid biosynthesis by a mutant strain of Scenedesmus obliquus

Archives of Microbiology, 1977
Considerable changes in pigment composition occur during a period of 10 h when dark-grown cultures of PG1, a zeta-carotenic strain of Scenedesmus obliquus, are illuminated. These changes are consistent with a biosynthetic pathway in which 15-cis-phytoene is converted via 15-cis-phytofluene and 15-cis-zeta-carotene into all-trans-zeta-carotene and trans-

Status and Dietary Intake of Phytoene and Phytofluene in Spanish Adults and the Effect of a Four-Week Dietary Intervention with Lutein-Rich Fruits or Vegetables [PDF]

open access: yesNutrients, 2022
Phytoene (PT) and phytofluene (PTF) are colourless carotenoids presents in the human diet and in blood, faeces and tissues and are biologically active. However, there is very little data on these carotenoids.
