  <name>Lutein 5,6-epoxide</name>
  <description>Isolated from a variety of higher plants and from algae. Taraxanthin was a mixture with lutein epoxide as the main component. [CCD]. Lutein 5,6-epoxide is found in many foods, some of which are rice, swamp cabbage, garden tomato (variety), and common grape.</description>

  <taxonomy>
    <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.</description>
