| Product Introduction | Carotenoids are a class of plant pigments (including β-carotene, lutein, lycopene) with critical roles in photosynthesis, photoprotection, and as precursors to vitamin A (provitamin A carotenoids). They are also important dietary antioxidants. Measuring total carotenoid content is key in assessing the nutritional value of crops, studying plant responses to light and stress, and monitoring pigment accumulation in fruits and flowers. This kit employs solvent extraction followed by direct spectrophotometric measurement of the characteristic absorbance of carotenoids. |
| Product Application | • Nutritional analysis of vegetables, fruits, and grains (e.g., biofortification studies). • Plant physiology research on photosynthesis, photoprotection, and fruit ripening. • Quality control of food products and dietary supplements. • Algal biotechnology for high-value pigment production. |
| Product Advantages | • Rapid & Simple Extraction: Uses a safe and efficient solvent mixture for complete pigment extraction from various plant matrices. • Direct Spectrophotometric Quantification: Measures the combined absorbance of all carotenoids at a specific wavelength (e.g., 450 nm), providing a reliable total content value. • Includes Chlorophyll Correction: Provides a formula to correct for potential chlorophyll interference, which is co-extracted with carotenoids, ensuring accurate carotenoid-specific quantification. • Cost-Effective & Accessible: Requires only a standard spectrophotometer, making it an economical choice for routine analysis in agricultural and food science labs. |
For research use only, not for clinical use.
