Xanthophyll plays a role in photosynthesis, absorbing excess light energy and protecting the chlorophyll from damage. Xanthophyll is responsible for the yellow color of autumn leaves, as it becomes more visible when chlorophyll breaks down. Xanthophyll has antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals. Xanthophyll is a carotenoid, a class of compounds with antioxidant activity.
