Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhytoene
DescriptionPhytoene, also known as (all-e)-phytoene or trans-phytoene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These 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. Thus, phytoene is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Phytoene.
