Compound Name beta-Carotene-5,6-monoepoxide
Description Beta-carotene-5,6-monoepoxide is a member of the class of compounds known as xanthophylls. Xanthophylls are carotenoids containing an oxygenated carotene backbone. Carotenes are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family. Xanthophylls arise by oxygenation of the carotene backbone. Beta-carotene-5,6-monoepoxide is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Beta-carotene-5,6-monoepoxide can be found in a number of food items such as yellow bell pepper, potato, orange bell pepper, and pepper (c. annuum), which makes beta-carotene-5,6-monoepoxide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
