Description
The compound β-Carotene is an organic, strongly coloured red-orange phyto-compound abundant in fungi, plants, and fruits, especially found in carrots and colorful vegetables. The name beta carotene comes from the Greek “beta” and Latin “carota” (carrot). The human body converts β-Carotene into vitamin A (retinol); therefore beta carotene is a precursor of vitamin A.
Carotenoids are naturally occurring pigments found in plants that are responsible for imparting vibrant colors to fruits and vegetables. They are abundant in nature. It is estimated that there are 500 different carotenoids, including beta carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin, distributed throughout the plant and algae world.
Beta Carotene is a derivation of the Latin name for carrot, as this compound was first derived from the carrot roots. It is an organic compound that is chemically classified as a hydrocarbon and specifically as a terpenoid. It is a strongly colored pigment that imparts the yellow and orange fruits and vegetables their rich hues. Once ingested, it gets converted into vitamin A (retinol) which performs several biological functions within the body.
Vitamin A also acts as an antioxidant that protects cells from the damaging effects of harmful free radicals. Beta carotene and several other carotenoids are also known as “provitamin A” because they act as precursors to the production of vitamin A in the body. Other carotenoids like lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin cannot be converted into vitamin A.
