all-trans-Phytofluene
all-trans-Phytofluene is a carotenoid found in human fluids. Carotenoids are isoprenoid molecules that are widespread in nature and are typically seen as pigments in fruits, flowers, birds, and crustacea. Animals are unable to synthesize carotenoids de novo, and rely upon the diet as a source of these compounds. Over recent years there has been considerable interest in dietary carotenoids with respect to their potential in alleviating age-related diseases in humans. This attention has been mirrored by significant advances in cloning most of the carotenoid genes and in the genetic manipulation of crop plants with the intention of increasing levels in the diet. Studies have shown an inverse relationship between the consumption of certain fruits and vegetables and the risk of epithelial cancer. Since carotenoids are among the micronutrients found in cancer preventive foods, detailed qualitative and quantitative determination of these compounds, particularly in fruits and vegetables and in human plasma, have recently become increasingly important.

15,9'-di-cis-phytofluene
15,9-di-cis-phytofluene is a member of the class of compounds known as carotenes. Carotenes are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family. 15,9-di-cis-phytofluene can be found in a number of food items such as prickly pear, giant butterbur, broccoli, and chanterelle, which makes 15,9-di-cis-phytofluene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Phytofluene
Phytofluene is a carotenoid pigment with an orange colour found naturally in tomatoes and other vegetables. It is the second product of carotenoid biosynthesis (Wikipedia).
(15Z,9'Z)-7,7',8,8',11,12-Hexahydrolycopene
(15Z,9Z)-7,7,8,8,11,12-Hexahydrolycopene is found in garden tomato. (15Z,9Z)-7,7,8,8,11,12-Hexahydrolycopene is isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. `Tangella). Isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum variety `Tangella). (15Z,9Z)-7,7,8,8,11,12-Hexahydrolycopene is found in garden tomato.

phytofluene
D020011 - Protective Agents > D000975 - Antioxidants > D002338 - Carotenoids Phytofluene is a carotenoid pigment with an orange color found naturally in tomatoes and other vegetables. It is the second product of carotenoid biosynthesis. It is formed from phytoene in a desaturation reaction leading to the formation of five conjugated double bonds. In the following step, addition of carbon-carbon conjugated double bonds leads to the formation of z-carotene and appearance of visible color.; Phytofluene is a carotenoid pigment with an orange color found naturally in tomatoes and other vegetables. It is the second product of carotenoid biosynthesis. Phytofluene is found in many foods, some of which are bitter gourd, yellow bell pepper, caraway, and pepper (c. annuum).
