Chemical Information

FooDB Name

epsilon-Carotene

Description

Epsilon-carotene 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. Epsilon-carotene can be found in a number of food items such as winged bean, enokitake, broad bean, and kiwi, which makes epsilon-carotene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Epsilon-carotene is a carotene .
