Chemical Information
FooDB NameLutein
DescriptionLutein, also known as xanthophyll or bo-xan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthophylls. These 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. Thus, lutein is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Lutein.
