Glossary Carotenoids

pigments in plants that aid photosynthesis and provide color

Carotenoids are a class of pigments found naturally in plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. They are responsible for the red, yellow, and orange colors in many fruits and vegetables, and they play a crucial role in photosynthesis by protecting plant cells from damage caused by light. In humans, carotenoids like beta-carotene are important for health, as they can be converted into vitamin A, which is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health.
