GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Carotenes can be found in many dark green and yellow leafy vegetables and appear as fat soluble pigments, while -carotene can be found in yellow, orange and red colored fruits and vegetables [44].

Detailed explanation-2: -The long chain of alternating double bonds (conjugated) is responsible for the orange color of beta-carotene. The conjugated chain in carotenoids means that they absorb in the visible region-green/blue part of the spectrum. So -carotene appears orange, because the red/yellow colors are reflected back to us.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yellow, orange, and red colours usually come from a group of pigments called carotenoids. A common carotenoid, beta-carotene, is produced in the chromoplasts of sunflower petals. This produces the bright yellow and orange colours we see in these flowers.
