Carotenoids are abundant in many fruits and vegetables and they play diverse roles in photobiology, photochemistry and medicine. This review concerns the reactivity of carotenoids with singlet oxygen and the interaction of carotenoids with a range of free radicals. Mechanisms associated with the anti- and pro-oxidant behaviour of carotenoids are discussed including carotenoid interactions with other anti-oxidants.
类胡萝卜素在许多水果和蔬菜中含量丰富，它们在光生物学、光化学和医学中发挥着多种作用。本综述关注类胡萝卜素与单线态氧的反应性以及类胡萝卜素与一系列自由基的相互作用。讨论了与类胡萝卜素抗氧化和促氧化行为相关的机制，包括类胡萝卜素与其他抗氧化剂的相互作用。
