Zeaxanthin is one of the most common carotenoid alcohols found in nature. It is important in the xanthophyllcycle. Synthesized in plants and some micro-organisms, it is the pigment thatgives paprika (made from bell peppers), corn, saffron, wolfberries, and manyother plants and microbes their characteristic color.
Thename (pronounced zee-uh-zan'-thin) is derived from Zea mays (common yellowmaize corn, in which zeaxanthin provides the primary yellow pigment), plusxanthos, the Greek word for "yellow" (see xanthophyll).
