Talk:Β-Cryptoxanthin

Health Benefits.[edit]

As there may not be human research that tells Cryptoxanthin (and not other parts of fruit/vegetable containing cryptoxanthin) is beneficial, please mention some Animal studies in the article.

It seems isolated cryptoxanthin is beneficial, if you Google: Cryptoxanthin rats OR mice.

If they isolated it well enough, not sure about that.

Pumpkin[edit]

This is a very useful table. Cryto, Alfa-carotene and Beta-carotene:

http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/nutrients/report?nutsort=334&max=25&offset=0&nutrient1=322&nutrient2=334&nutrient3=321&measureby=g&fg=&subset=0&sort=c&totCount=5177 If you add this to article, please mention "Release 27", as "release 28",29... may have corrections.

- About this USDS table:

-- Is it really so that Pumpkin does not contain almost any Crypto? This page show a very different Table about Pumpkin, but they seem to have an old version of USDA database as only source: http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/phytochemicals/carotenoids/index.html#sources

-- Is there a big risk that if I buy some random persimmon (Non-Japanese, for example from Israel), random papaya and random small citrus fruits (that look and taste like mandarins but are not 100% the same fruit), that the crypto content may be significantly less than the average USDA tells?

different forms[edit]

The xanthophyll entry indicates that there are at least 2 different cryptoxanthins, alpha and beta. There is no mention of this anywhere in this entry. What is the difference? 69.72.92.213 (talk) 06:37, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects[edit]

Synonyms should probably all redirect here, including "kryptoxanthin". —DIV (115.64.145.215 (talk) 03:18, 13 December 2017 (UTC))[reply]
