Carotenoids are yellow-orange due to their chemical structure, which contains long chains of conjugated double bonds that absorb light in the blue and green wavelengths. This absorption results in the reflection and transmission of yellow and orange light, giving carotenoids their characteristic colors. These pigments play a crucial role in photosynthesis by capturing light energy and also contribute to the coloration of many fruits and vegetables.

What is the molecular formula for carotenoids?
The molecular formula for carotenoids is C40H56, which represents a group of naturally occurring pigments that give many fruits and vegetables their characteristic colors, ranging from yellow to red. Carotenoids serve as antioxidants and are important for plant photosynthesis.
Do carotenoids contain starch?
No, carotenoids do not contain starch. Carotenoids are a group of pigments found in plants that give fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors, while starch is a complex carbohydrate found in plants that serves as a storage form of energy.
