| Product Introduction | Carotenoids are vital photosynthetic pigments and potent antioxidants in plants, responsible for yellow, orange, and red colors. They play critical roles in light-harvesting, photoprotection, and as precursors to signaling molecules like abscisic acid. Their content is a key indicator of nutritional value (e.g., β-carotene as provitamin A) and plant physiological status. This kit streamines the process by providing an optimized solvent for efficient carotenoid extraction from leaves, fruits, or flowers, followed by simple spectrophotometric quantification based on characteristic absorbance. |
| Product Application | • Assessing the nutritional quality of crops (e.g., biofortification of golden rice, maize, cassava). • Monitoring plant responses to light stress, oxidative stress, and nutrient deficiencies. • Screening plant varieties or mutants for altered pigment composition in breeding programs. • Basic research in photosynthesis, chloroplast development, and carotenoid biosynthesis pathways. |
| Product Advantages | • Rapid & Efficient Extraction: The provided solvent mixture maximizes carotenoid yield while minimizing degradation. • Simple Quantification: Direct absorbance measurement eliminates the need for complex HPLC setups for total content analysis. • High-Throughput Friendly: The 96-well plate format enables rapid analysis of dozens of samples simultaneously. • Cost-Effective Screening: An affordable solution for initial screening before targeted analysis of specific carotenoids. |
