Carotenoids are isoprenoid metabolites synthesized de novo in all photosynthetic
organisms. Carotenoids are essential for plants with diverse functions in photosynthesis …

Carotenoids are lipophilic isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic
organisms and some non-photosynthetic prokaryotes and fungi. With some notable …

Carotenoids are indispensable to plants and critical in human diets. Plastids are the
organelles for carotenoid biosynthesis and storage in plant cells. They exist in various types …

Phytoene synthase (PSY) catalyzes the first committed step in the carotenoid biosynthesis
pathway and is a major rate-limiting enzyme of carotenogenesis. PSY is highly regulated by …

Carotenoids are mostly C 40 terpenoids, a class of hydrocarbons that participate in various
biological processes in plants, such as photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis …

Plants are exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stresses leading to increased formation
of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells. ROS are capable of oxidizing proteins …

Ending all forms of hunger by 2030, as set forward in the UN-Sustainable Development Goal
2 (UN-SDG2), is a daunting but essential task, given the limited timeline ahead and the …

Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments widely distributed in nature. The vivid yellow,
orange, and red colors of many horticultural crops are attributed to the overaccumulation of …

This review covers current analytical techniques, instruments and methodologies used in the
analysis of carotenoids in foods and human samples. We also cover the importance of …

Carotenoids are a group of widely distributed natural pigments. They give many horticultural
plants the bright red, orange, and yellow colors, as well as the aroma and flavor …
