Carotenoid biosynthesis in plants and green algae.

, 2013
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, phytoene, and phytofluene are all colorless compounds. Colored carotenoids include ζ-carotene and all carotenoids downstream. Xanthophylls include zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin, violaxanthin, neoxanthin, lutein, and loroxanthin

A mutant allele of ζ-carotene isomerase (Z-ISO) is associated with the yellow pigmentation of the “Pinalate” sweet orange mutant and reveals new insights into its role in fruit carotenogenesis

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Fruit coloration is one of the main quality parameters of Citrus fruit primarily determined by genetic factors. The fruit of ordinary sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) displays a pleasant orange tint due to accumulation of carotenoids ...

Aspects of the binding of acyclic carotenoids to flabelliferins from palmyrah fruit pulp

, 2012
The fruit pulp of palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer) contains flabelliferins which are glycosides of β-sitosterol. Naturally bound to flabelliferins is an UV active compound, phvtofluene, which affectsbiological activity.

Phytoene and Phytofluene Isolated from a Tomato Extract are Readily Incorporated in Mixed Micelles and Absorbed by Caco-2 Cells, as Compared to Lycopene, and SR-BI is Involved in their Cellular Uptake

, 2018
International audienceAbsorption mechanisms of (PT) and phytofluene (PTF) are poorly known. Our main objectives were to measure their micellization and intestinal cell uptake efficiencies, and to compare them to that of commonly consumed carotenoids ...

Isolation of methyl 9'Z-apo-6'-lycopenoate from Bixa orellana

, 2015
The structure of an apocarotenoid (1% of total carotenoid) isolated from the seed coat of Bixa Orellana fruit was established as methyl 9'Z-apo-6'-lycopenoate (methyl 9'Z-6'-apo-psi-caroten-6'-oate) by means of UV-visible and 500 MHz H-1 NMR spectroscopy

Understanding the causes and consequences of high-carotene Cassava roots [PDF]

, 2012
A large dataset (2129 data points) was developed over the years of research to increase carotenoids content in cassava roots. Correlations were always based on more than 550 data points.
