They are widespread among living beings where they are involved in many biological roles reporting beneficial actions. To date, more than 750 carotenoids have been described in nature. Humans cannot synthesize carotenoids de novo, thus they are mainly obtained through diet. In fact, carotenoids are consistently found in tissues or biological fluids where they play a beneficial decreasing the risk of developing some diseases. During the last half-century, significant advances in carotenoids research have been made. This book highlights new perspectives and applications of carotenoids including characterization and isolation of new compounds (including rare carotenoids). 517 $aCarotenoids 606 $aCarotenoids$xTherapeutic use 615 0$aCarotenoids$xTherapeutic use. 676 $a615.328 702 $aMarti?nez-Espinosa$b Rosa Mar?ia 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633969803321 996 $aCarotenoids$983635 997 $aUNINA
