Carotene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon pigment found in many plants Carotene is the basic building block of vitamin A
A class of carotenoids Some carotenes, including alpha-, beta-, gamma- and zeta-carotene, have some pro-vitamin A activity Others, such as lycopene, do not Most carotenes are found in yellow-orange fruits and vegetables such as apricots, mangoes, carrots and sweet potatoes Alpha- and beta-carotene have both been linked to reduced risk of lung cancer Beta-carotene has also been shown to support heart health

Any of several organic compounds widely distributed in plants and animals. They are pigments that give orange, yellow, or sometimes red colours to, for example, dandelions, apricots, carrots, sweet potatoes, butter, egg yolks, canary feathers, and lobster shells. Carotenes are converted in the body into vitamin A, but, unlike the vitamin, they are not toxic even at high doses. Carotene has an antioxidant effect and is therefore used in pharmaceuticals and as a food and feed additive, as well as to colour margarine and butter
converted to vitamin A in the body derived from a yellow pigment that has several forms (i e alpha-, beta-)
an orange-yellow pigment occurring in many plants and capable of being converted into vitamin A in the body
One of the simplest member of the carotenoid family of natural dyes It is a polyene with 22 conjugated methine groups terminated on each end by a -ionone group
yellow or orange-red fat-soluble pigments in plants
Found primarily in carrots A pro-vitamin, converted by the body into vitamin A, carotene gives a yellow to orange-red color to formulations
