Hydrophilic carotenoids: recent progress.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carotenoids are substantially hydrophobic antioxidants. Hydrophobicity is this context is rather a disadvantage, because their utilization in medicine as antioxidants or in food chemistry as colorants would require some water dispersibility for their effective uptake or use in many other ways. In the past 15 years several attempts were made to synthetize partially hydrophilic carotenoids. This review compiles the recently synthetized hydrophilic carotenoid derivatives.

Vitamin and Non-Vitamin Antioxidants and Their Interaction in Food
Aerobic life has been challenged by the changing conditions appearing through evolution resulting in appearance of both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants as an indispensable protection against the ubiquitous reactive oxygenand nitrogen species. Interaction between hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants at interfaces often results in synergistic effects important for food stability. Such ...

متن کاملOpposing effects of oxidative challenge and carotenoids on antioxidant status and condition-dependent sexual signalling
Several recent hypotheses consider oxidative stress to be a primary constraint ensuring honesty of condition-dependent carotenoid-based signalling. The key testable difference between these hypotheses is the assumed importance of carotenoids for redox homeostasis, with carotenoids being either antioxidant, pro-oxidant or unimportant. We tested the role of carotenoids in redox balance and sexual...
متن کاملRecent progress in the medical applications of carotenoids
Carotenoids continue to be important dietary sources of vitamin A, and also continue to be used in the treatment of certain human photosensitive skin diseases. Animal and epidemiologic studies are strongly suggestive that carotenoids may have an anti-cancer role, but the clinical prevention trials designed to determine if this is true have not yet been completed. Another interesting possible ro...
متن کاملReaction Dynamics of Flavonoids and Carotenoids
Flavonoids and carotenoids with rich structural diversity are ubiquitously present in the plant kingdom. Flavonoids, and especially their glycosides, are more hydrophilic than most carotenoids. The interaction of flavonoids with carotenoids occurs accordingly at water/lipid interfaces and has been found important for the functions of flavonoids as antioxidants in the water phase and especially ...
