Descripción

General description

Capsanthin is a natural red-orange pigment present in red paprika and is a member of the xanthophylls, oxygen-containing carotenoids family. It is made up of a keto group conjugated with a long chain of 11 dienes.

Application

Capsanthin has been used as a reference standard to determine the oral toxicity of saponified Capsicum annum extract with 50% capsanthin by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Capsanthin is the last product of the pepper carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. It promotes lipid solubility by esterification with short-chain fatty acids. Capsanthin exhibits anti-oxidant, singlet oxygen quenching ability, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, chemopreventive, and skin photo-protective activities. In addition, it also possesses anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-obesity, and anti-adipogenic properties. Capsanthin due to its wide array of health benefits is used in the cosmetic, pharma, and nutraceutical industries.
