Application


  • Tackling the challenge of selective analytical clean-up of complex natural extracts: the curious case of chlorophyll removal: This study outlines a methodology for the selective analytical clean-up of complex natural extracts, which can be applied to enhance the purity and stability of trans-β-Apo-8′-carotenal, particularly useful in the context of life science manufacturing and research and development. This approach is crucial for maintaining the integrity of bioactive compounds during synthesis and storage (Bijttebier et al., 2014).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Natural carotenoid that is formed from β-carotene in vivo and is an inducer of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) in rats and in Ah-receptor-responsive mice.

Other Notes

Internal standard in the detection of citrus carotenoids by reversed-phase HPLC.

Storage Class

11 - Combustible Solids

Hematopoietic stem cells are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into different hematopoietic lineages. To gain a comprehensive understanding of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, a systematic proteomic survey of human CD34+ cells collected from human umbilical cord blood was performed, in which

The carotenoids are a chemically related group of pigments which occur widely and abundantly in nature. Fruits, vegetables and vegetable oils, dairy products, leaves, shrimp, lobster, the plumage of exotic birds, all contain carotenoids. Chemically, the carotenoids may be divided

To determine whether carotenoids can modulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in mice, catalytic activities of several phase I and phase II enzymes have been measured in liver microsomes and cytosol of male Swiss mice fed diets containing beta-carotene, beta-apo-8'-carotenal, canthaxanthin, or astaxanthin

High dose beta-carotene supplementation of smokers was associated with increased lung cancer risk in two intervention trials. It was proposed that generation of apocarotenals in smoke-exposed lungs impaired retinoic acid (RA) signaling, leading to squamous metaplasia and cell proliferation. To

The purposes of this study were to determine the location of beta-carotene dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.21) activity within the rat gastrointestinal tract, within the villus and within enterocytes, and to identify the metabolites produced in each intestinal fraction. In Wistar female
