Metabolite Identification
Common Namealpha-Zeacarotene
Descriptionalpha-Zeacarotene, also known as α-zeacarotene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These 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. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on alpha-Zeacarotene.
