  • Miscellaneous
    • Chemical Class:

      A carotenone that consists of <greek>beta</greek>,<greek>beta</greek>-carotene-4,4'-dione bearing two hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 3' (the 3<stereo>S</stereo>,3'<stereo>S</stereo> diastereo mer). A carotenoid pigment found mainly in animals (crustaceans, echinoderms) but also occurring in plants. It can occur free (as a red pigment), as an ester, or as a blue, brown or green chromoprotei n.
