Karoten

β-Karoten prikazan 3-dimenzionalnom dijagramu
Karoten je odgovoran za narančastu boju kod mrkve kao i boje mnogih drugih vrsta voća i povrća, pa čak i kod nekih životinja.
Flamingosi u Ngorongoro, Tanzanija. Ružičasta boja divljih flamingosa je zbog astaksantina (vrsta karotenoida) oni se prehranjuju škampima. Da se hrane dijetom bez karotena postali bi bijeli.

E160a je kod za biljni ekstrakt koji se koristi kao aditiv karoten (Alpha-karoten, Beta-karoten, Gamma-karoten) u hrani. Glavna svrha aditiva je bojenje hrane. Pojam karoten (također carotene, izveden je iz latinskog carota, što znači "mrkva".[1][2]). Koristi se za mnoge srodne supstance nezasićenih ugljikovodika koje imaju formulu C40Hx, koje sintetiziraju biljke, ali generalno to se ne može desiti od strane životinja (jedini poznati izuzetak su neke lisne uši i pauk koji su stekli sintetičke gene iz gljiva).[3]. Karoten je fotosintetski pigment važan za proces fotosinteze. Karoten ne sadrži kisik i apsorbira ultraljubičasto, ljubičasto i plavo svjetlo i stoga ima snažnu boju, najčešće narančastu ili crvenu, i u niskim koncentracijama žutu.

Karoten doprinosi fotosintezi prenošenjem energije svjetla koju apsorbira u hlorofil. Također štiti biljna tkiva i pomaže da apsorbira energiju iz singletnog kisika, jedan oblik molekule kisika O2 koji se formira tokom fotosinteze.
