α-Cryptoxanthin Analysis Service

α-Cryptoxanthin is a natural carotenoid found abundantly in various fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, persimmons, and red peppers. Although both α-cryptoxanthin and β-cryptoxanthin are important carotenoids with antioxidant properties, they differ significantly in structure and function.

 

The key difference between α-cryptoxanthin and β-cryptoxanthin lies in their chemical structures. α-Cryptoxanthin contains an α-ring in its molecular structure, while β-cryptoxanthin contains a β-ring. This structural variation imparts unique characteristics to α-cryptoxanthin in specific biological processes and functions. α-Cryptoxanthin exhibits unique bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and immune-modulating properties, and shows higher efficacy in preventing certain types of oxidative stress.
