Carotenoids

放大字體  縮小字體 發布日期:2007-04-25

Carotenoids are familiar to all of us through the orange-red colours of popular foods like oranges, tomatoes and carrots, and the yellow colours of many flowers.

They are also added as colorants to many manufactured foods, drinks and animal feeds, either in the form of natural extracts (e.g. annatto) or as pure compounds manufactured by chemical synthesis. The production of carotenoids by biotechnology is of increasing interest. Carotenoids are essential to plants for photosynthesis, acting in light-harvesting and, especially, in protection against destructive photo oxidation. Without carotenoids photosynthesis in an oxygenic atmosphere would be impossible.

But carotenoids are not simply pigments of terrestrial plants. They occur widely in bacteria, fungi and algae, where they can be useful taxonomic markers. The production of carotenoids in seaweed runs to hundreds of million tons per year.

Some animals use carotenoids for coloration, especially birds (yellow and red feathers), fish (e.g. goldfish and salmon) and a wide variety of invertebrate animals, where complexation with protein may modify their colour to blue, green or purple.

Carotenoids are important factors in human health. The essential role of beta-carotene and others as the main dietary source of vitamin A has been known for many years. More recently, protective effects of carotenoids against serious disorders such as cancer, heart disease and degenerative eye disease have been recognized, and have stimulated intensive research into the role of carotenoids as antioxidants and as regulators of the immune response system.

Currents carotenoid research encompasses a wide variety of fields and interests including plant physiology, food science, environmental science, taxonomy, industrial chemical synthesis, biotechnology and medical research. All the work must be based on a solid foundation of carotenoid chemistry and reliable methods for handling and analysing these rather unstable substances.
