beta-carotene

1. about beta-carotene

Introduction：
β-Carotene is an organic compound - a terpenoid, a red-orange pigment  abundant in plants and fruits. As a carotene with β-rings at both ends, it is the most common form of carotene. It is a precursor (inactiveform) of vitamin A. Being highly conjugated, it is deeply colored, and as a hydrocarbon lacking functional groups, it is very lipophilic. Innature, β-carotene is a precursor to
vitamin A via the action of beta-carotene15, 15'-monooxygenase. β-Carotene is also the substance in carrots that colours them orange. β-Carotenoid is biosynthesized from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. 

Plant carotenoids are the primary dietary source of pro-vitamin A worldwide. The most efficient pro-vitamin A carotenoid is β-carotene, which is abundant in Vietnam Gac(Momordica CochinchinensisSpreng), crudepalmoil, yellow and orange fruits, such as mangoes and papayas, orange root vegetables such as carrots and yams and in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, sweet potato leaves, and sweet gourd leaves. Vietnam gac and crude palm oil have by fart the highest content of β-carotene of any known fruit or vegetable, 10 times higher than carrots for example. However, Gac is quite rare and unknown outside its native region of SE Asia, and crude palm oil is typically processed to remove the cartenoids before sale to improve the color and clarity.

Function and Usage：
Beta-Carotene is also known as a provitamin because it can be converted in our body in to vitamin A after oxidative cleavage by beta-carotene15, 150-dioxygenase. In plants, beta-carotene acts as an anti-oxidant and neutralizes singlet oxygen radicals formed during photosynthesis. It is a powerful antioxidant, protecting the cells of the body from damage caused by free  radicals. Studies indicate that diets low in beta-resulting in an increased risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancers.
Beta-carotene supplements may help to reduce sun induced skin damage.
