13-apo-beta-carotenone (CAT: I013397) is an apo-carotenoid compound that is derived from the oxidative degradation of the beta, beta-carotene skeleton at the 13-position. It belongs to the class of apo carotenoids and is characterized by the presence of an enone functional group. Apo carotenoids are carotenoid compounds that have undergone structural modifications, such as cleavage or oxidation, resulting in the loss of one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. 13-apo-beta-carotenone represents one of the degradation products of beta-carotene and may have biological activities or applications related to its unique structure and properties.
