Abstract: The impact of the Z‐isomer content of carotenoids, β‐carotene and astaxanthin, on their solubility in organic solvents and crystallinity is investigated. Carotenoid samples containing different Z‐isomer contents are prepared from the high‐purity all‐E‐isomers by the… read more here.

Abstract: Lycopene β-cyclase (EC 5.5.1.19) is one of the key enzymes in the biosynthesis of β-carotene and derived carotenoids. It catalyzes isomerase reactions to form β-carotene from lycopene by β-cyclization of both of its ψ-ends. Lycopene… read more here.
