Conversion of (3R,3’R,6’R)-lutein to 3’Epilutein, a Carotenoid Precursor for Industrial Production of Naturally Occurring (3R,3’R)-zeaxanthin
Published Wednesday, January 8, 2003Zeaxanthin is a yellow-colored lipid-soluble derivative of beta-carotene. This biochemical is a strong antioxidant and like lutein it is found in the retina. It is widely believed that zeaxanthin acts to filter and shield harmful blue light from the eye, and protects the eyes against age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of...
