Free Radical Mediated Oxidative Degradation of Carotenes and Xanthophylls

Free Radical Mediated Oxidative Degradation of Carotenes and Xanthophylls

This article reviews the excited-state quenching, pro-vitamin A activity and anticarcinogenicity of carotenes and xanthophylls in relation to their chemical structures. Excited-state quenching improved with the length of the conjugated chain structure. Pro-vitamin A activity was dependent on the pre...
