Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description
Apocarotenal, or trans-β-apo-8'-carotenal, is a carotenoid found in spinach and citrus fruits. Like other carotenoids, apocarotenal plays a role as a precursor of vitamin A, even though it has 50% less pro-vitamin A activity than β-carotene. The empirical chemical formula for apocarotenal is C30H40O.
Apocarotenal has an orange to orange-red colour and is used in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. Depending on the product forms, apocarotenal is used in fat-based foods (such as margarine, sauces, and salad dressing), beverages, dairy products, and sweets. Its E number is E160e and it is approved for use as a food additive in the US,[1] EU,[2] Australia, and New Zealand.[3]
