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.

Mutations in human spastin (SPG4) cause an autosomal dominant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Sequence analysis revealed that spastin contains the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) domain in the C-terminal region. Recently, it was reported that spastin interacts

beta-Carotene might be converted oxidatively to vitamin A- active products in animals by the following three possible routes: 1) central cleavage, 2) sequential excentric cleavage or 3) random cleavage. Central cleavage is strongly favored by stoichiometric studies with tissue homogenates

Extracts of rat and rabbit intestinal mucosa were fractionated with ammonium sulfate. The precipitate contained beta-apocarotenoid-14',13'-dioxygenase (ADO) activity. beta-Apo-14'-carotenal was found to be the product of enzymatic cleavage of beta-apo-8'-carotenol. Activities of ADO and beta-carotene-15,15'-dioxygenase (CDO) were detected in the

Biotransformation of beta-carotene with enzyme preparations isolated from the mycelium of Blakeslea trispora resulted in the formation of its hydroxylated metabolite and apocarotenals, products of oxidative degradation of this compound. By spectral, chromatographic, and chemical properties, the beta-carotene derivative was
