Carotenoids Analysis Services

Carotenoids are a group of secondary metabolites that vary in color from yellow to red and are found widely in plants and photosynthetic microorganisms. Carotenoids are responsible for the red color in tomatoes, the orange color in sweet potatoes, and the yellow color in squashes. They are highly unsaturated hydrocarbons derived from isoprene units and composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen or carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. One function of carotenoids in plants is to aid photosynthesis, mainly by absorbing light and protecting against photosensitization. In addition, the biosynthetic pathway of carotenoids also produces abscisic acid, an important plant hormone involved in plant growth and response to environmental stress.

Consumption of carotenoids-rich foods has been associated with reduced risk of diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Carotenoids also act as antioxidants by reacting with free radicals, including singlet oxygen and peroxyl radicals. Due to the high unsaturated nature of carotenoids, there are many potential cis/trans isomers, both of which have biological importance. Therefore, effective qualitative and quantitative analysis of carotenoids in plant samples is necessary.
