10′-Apo-β-carotenal(CAT: R066541) is an apocarotenoid derived from the oxidative cleavage of β-carotene. It is an aldehyde form of carotenoids and serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of vitamin A, which is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. This compound is of particular interest in nutritional and biochemical research due to its antioxidant properties and its role in retinoid metabolism. 10′-Apo-β-carotenal is also studied for its potential effects on cellular signaling pathways, including its involvement in gene expression regulation. In the food industry, it is used as a colorant, contributing a yellow to orange hue to various food products. Its presence in the diet, primarily through the consumption of colorful fruits and vegetables, contributes to the overall intake of carotenoids, which are associated with various health benefits.
