Jaundise can be a serious condition brought on by liver failure. People turn yellow with that condition.
Carotine is harmless, and turns people temporarily orange when they ingest large amount of carotene containing vegetables like carrots.
Can jaundice result from ingestion of large amounts of dietary carotene?
CAROTENE
Jaundice and carotenemia are the most common causes of yellow skin. Jaundice is accumulation of bilirubin which is a bile pigment and carotenemia is the accumulation of carotene; the precursor of vitamin A.
When someone consumes too much beta-carotene, a pigment found in certain foods like carrots, their skin can turn yellow. This condition is called carotenemia and is usually harmless, but it can be mistaken for jaundice.
Alpha carotene and beta carotene are both forms of carotenoids, which are plant pigments converted into vitamin A in the body. The main difference is in their molecular structure, with alpha carotene having one more double bond than beta carotene. Both are powerful antioxidants, but research suggests that beta carotene may be more potent and have higher levels in certain foods like carrots and sweet potatoes.
The main intermolecular forces between acetone and beta-carotene are dispersion forces. Acetone is a polar molecule with dipole-dipole interactions, while beta-carotene is nonpolar with only dispersion forces. Although acetone does have some dispersion forces, the overall interaction is primarily driven by dispersion forces due to beta-carotene's nonpolar nature.
Jaundice
Carotene is found in root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, ect. Therefore, you get natural carotene from these veggies. It is not an additive to another product. Carotene is also in broccoli, apriots, and kale.
Beta carotene is important for proper eye nutrition.
