For example, the bright yellow color of corn is due in part to lutein2. - Beta-carotene is the best-known compound of the carotenoid group. As a pigment, it makes flowers more attractive to insects and is especially known for its presence in some fruits and vegetables such as carrots, mangoes, apricots3... - Piperine (phytoperine) increases the bioavailability of beta-carotene.
