Anhydrolutein I is an oxygenated molecule that belongs to the group of carotenoids. It has been isolated from the seeds of Anhydrosphaera apicalis, a fungus that is found on decaying leaves in moist tropical forests. The molecule has been shown to exhibit biochemical properties similar to those of lutein and has been postulated to be a precursor of this molecule. This compound absorbs in the visible range and its spectroscopic properties have been studied by various methods such as IR, UV, and NMR.
