Metabolite Identification
Common NameBeta-Cryptoxanthin
Descriptionbeta-Cryptoxanthin, also known as (3R)-β,β-caroten-3-ol or beta-caroten-3-ol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthophylls. These are carotenoids containing an oxygenated carotene backbone. Carotenes are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family. Xanthophylls arise by oxygenation of the carotene backbone. Thus, beta-cryptoxanthin is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on beta-Cryptoxanthin.
