Common Namedelta-Carotene
DescriptionDelta-Carotene, also known as δ-carotene, 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. Delta-carotene contains an alpha-ionone instead of a beta-ionone ring; this conversion is carried out by the gene Del which shifts the position of the double bond in the ring structure. The formation delta-carotene under the presence of the Del gene is sensitive to high temperatures. Delta-Carotene is possibly neutral. Outside of the human body, delta-Carotene has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as root vegetables, asparagus, sea-buckthornberries, wild carrots, and carrots. This could make delta-carotene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. δ-Carotene or ε,ψ-carotene is a form of carotene with an ε-ring at one end, and the other uncyclized, labelled ψ (psi). It is an intermediate synthesis product in some photosynthetic plants between lycopene and α-carotene (β,ε-carotene) or ε-carotene (ε,ε-carotene). delta-Carotene is found in Arabidopsis thaliana, Calendula arvensis , Carica papaya , Citrus reticulata, Coffea canephora , Gonocaryum pyriforme, Navicula torquetum, Rosa pomifera, Rubus chamaemorus and Tropaeolum majus . δ-Carotene is fat soluble.
