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 by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). Crocetin dialdehyde has no effect on the liver in mice[1][2].
