Gamma-Carotene Analysis Service

Gamma-Carotene (γ-Carotene) is a naturally occurring carotenoid widely found in various fruits and vegetables. Unlike α-carotene and β-carotene, γ-carotene serves as an important precursor of vitamin A and exhibits unique biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-regulatory properties. As an accessory pigment in photosynthesis, γ-carotene helps plants absorb and transfer light energy while protecting cells from photooxidative damage. In human health, its antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

 

Studies have linked γ-carotene intake to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and vision deterioration. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can reduce cardiovascular disease risk, inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells, and play a crucial role in maintaining normal vision and preventing vision deterioration. Therefore, the quantitative and qualitative analysis of γ-carotene is vital in nutrition, food science, and clinical research. Accurate analysis of γ-carotene levels provides essential insights for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
