Neoxanthin Analysis Service

Neoxanthin is a crucial carotenoid widely distributed in various plants, particularly in green leafy vegetables such as spinach. As a part of carotenoids and xanthophylls, neoxanthin acts as a critical intermediate in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone abscisic acid. Neoxanthin exists mainly in two isomeric forms: all-trans and 9-cis. It is derived from violaxanthin, although the enzyme responsible for its synthesis, neoxanthin synthase, has yet to be definitively identified.
