Crocetin dialdehyde

Crocetin dialdehyde is a non-volatile apocarotenoid obtained by the action of the plastidic enzyme CCD2 over the carotenoid zeaxanthin in saffron. Crocetin dialdehyde can be converted into Crocetin (HY-N2072) by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) . Crocetin dialdehyde has no effect on the liver in mice[1][2].
