Chemical Information
FooDB Name(3R,3'R, all-E)-Zeaxanthin
DescriptionConstituent of crustaceans, fish, barley, maize (Zea mays), tomatoes, paprika pods, hen egg yolk, fruits and numerous green vegetables. Potential nutriceutical for treatment of age-related macular degeneration of the eye (AMD) [DFC] Zeaxanthin is one of the two primary xanthophyll carotenoids contained within the retina of the eye. Within the central macula, zeaxanthin is the dominant component, whereas in the peripheral retina, lutein predominates. The principal natural form of zeaxanthin is (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin. As a food additive, zeaxanthin is a food dye with E number E161h. [Wikipedia]. (3R,3'R, all-E)-Zeaxanthin is found in many foods, some of which are green vegetables, cottonseed, tamarind, and common beet.

Classification
Description 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.
