Metabolite Identification
Common Namedelta-Carotene
Descriptiondelta-Carotene (CAS: 472-92-4), also known as epsilon,psi-carotene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They 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. Thus, delta-carotene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. delta-Carotene is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
