Hydrophilic Carotenoids: Recent Progress

Blog Article

Carotenoids are substantially hydrophobic antioxidants.Hydrophobicity is this context is rather a disadvantage, because their utilization in Shoes medicine as antioxidants or in food chemistry as colorants would require some water dispersibility for their effective uptake or use in many other ways.In the past 15 years several Shelving Unit attempts were made to synthetize partially hydrophilic carotenoids.

This review compiles the recently synthetized hydrophilic carotenoid derivatives.
