Identification
Common Nameα-zeacarotene
ClassSmall Molecule
Descriptionα-zeacarotene is a member of the class of compounds known as carotenes. Carotenes are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They 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. α-zeacarotene can be found in a number of food items such as garden onion (variety), brussel sprouts, bitter gourd, and red raspberry, which makes α-zeacarotene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
