Capsanthin (CAS 465-42-9)
QUICK LINKS
Capsanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment primarily found in red chili peppers, particularly Capsicum annuum. It is chemically classified as a xanthophyll, which is a type of oxygenated carotenoid. Capsanthin is a lipid-soluble molecule with a structure that includes a long conjugated double-bond system. This structure is key to its role as a pigment, as it allows capsanthin to absorb specific wavelengths of light, imparting the red color. The molecule′s conjugated system is also involved in its interaction with light, which is significant for studies related to light absorption and energy transfer in biological systems. Capsanthin plays a role in the photosynthetic array of plants by assisting in light capture and protection against photo-oxidative damage. Capsanthin is studied in materials science for its potential applications in dye-sensitized solar cells, where its properties could be exploited to enhance light absorption and energy conversion efficiency.
