Violaxanthin is a lipophilic epoxy carotenoid and a light energy scavenger with biological activities such as antioxidation and anti-inflammation. Violaxanthin exists in photosynthetic eukaryotes including higher plants and participates in the xanthophyll cycle. As a component of the xanthophyll cycle, violaxanthin can be synthesized from zeaxanthin under the catalysis of epoxidase and scavenge excess light energy in photosynthetic eukaryotes[1].
