Description

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.
