Carotenoids are the most widespread pigments in nature. One or more
carotenoids in combination give rise to colours ranging from yellow
to red in birds, fishes, crustaceans, micro-organisms, fruits and
plants, including the dark green ones. There are over 600 known
carotenoids and they are divided into two classes: xanthophylls,
which contain oxygen, and carotenes, which are purely hydrocarbons
and contain no oxygen. Carotenoids have many health benefits
including antioxidant properties, free-radical scavengers,
decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, anti-inflammatory
properties, osteoporosis prevention and other diseases. The 15
chapters in this book have been written to outline recent topical
research.
