Photochemical and Optical Properties of Water-Soluble Xanthophyll Antioxidants: Aggregation vs Complexation

Abstract: Xanthophyll carotenoids can self-assemble in aqueous solution to form J- and H-type aggregates. This feature significantly changes the photophysical and optical properties of these carotenoids, and has an impact on solar energy conversion and light induced oxidative damage. In this study we have applied EPR and optical absorption spectroscopy to investigate how complexation can affect the aggregation ability of the xanthophyll carotenoids zeaxanthin, lutein, and astaxanthin, their photostability, and antioxida… Show more

“…This fact confirms the hypothesis for the dependence of the structure and properties of GA complexes on its concentration. It is assumed that interaction between carotenoids and peroxyl radicals occurs via hydrogen abstraction from the most acidic 4-H proton of carotenoids (Focsan et al, 2012;Polyakov et al, 2013). GA forms a donut like dimer in which the hydrophobic polyene chain of carotenoids lies protected within the donut hole, permitting the hydrophilic ends and most acidic proton to be exposed to the surroundings.…”

“…Several studies using a single antioxidant have been conducted using aspirin [27], indomethacin [27], and astaxanthin [28]. Although these compounds could inhibit spin adduct formation, in the presence of relatively high concentration of reactive oxygen species, the formation of new radical species cannot be avoided.…”
