The β-Carotene-Oxygen Copolymer: its Relationship to Apocarotenoids and β-Carotene Function

2020-12-29

Abstract excerpt

β-Carotene spontaneously copolymerizes with molecular oxygen to form a β-carotene-oxygen copolymer compound (“copolymer”) as the main product, together with small amounts of many apocarotenoids. Both the addition and scission products are interpreted as being formed during progression through successive free radical β-carotene-oxygen adduct intermediates. The product mixture from full oxidation of β-carotene, lack...
