There are numerous natural sources of carotenoids, with examples such as papaya, pineapple, pumpkin, apricot, carrot, orange, and corn. Among the carotenoids frequently utilized, both alpha and beta carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene are commonly added as colorants in various products, including food, cosmetics, and animal feed. In the realm of human health, carotenoids play a pivotal role in cancer treatment, vision improvement, and the support of physical growth and development.
