    Citation Excerpt :

    The most significant part in the molecule is the conjugated double bond system that determines their color and biological action (Goodwin and Britton, 1988; Sandmann, 2001). Epidemiological evidence and experimental results suggest that dietary carotenoids inhibit the onset of many diseases in which free radicals are thought to play a role in initiation, such as arteriosclerosis, cataracts, and cancer (Stahl and Sies, 1996; Henneckens, 1997). Some of the carotenoids (for instance β-carotene, torulene, torularhodin) have provitamin A activity (Sandmann, 2001).
