Zeaxanthin Usage and Synthesis.

Carotenoids are a group of natural pigments found in fruits and vegetables. In addition to plants, many photosynthetic bacteria and fungi synthesise carotenoids, which are terpene derivatives and have many conjugated double bonds in their structures. There are two main groups of naturally occurring carotenoids: (1) α-carotene and β-carotene, which belong to the carotenoid group;

(2) Zeaxanthin, neoxanthin, and zeaxanthin, which are oxidised derivatives of carotenoids. Zeaxanthin is the main pigment of yellow corn, its molecular formula is C40H56O2, molecular weight is 568.88 Dalton, and its CAS registration number is 144-68-3.

Zeaxanthin is widely distributed in yellow corn, egg yolks, orange and yellow coloured some vegetables and fruits.

Zeaxanthin itself has no vitamin A activity, but it plays an important role in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), along with its isomer, lutein.

Zeaxanthin is widely used as a food additive and is often used in the food industry to colour meat products.
