ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on metabolism of carotenoids in humans. However, research
from animal models also cited is because of the many gaps in our knowledge of
human carotenoid metabolism. Some previous reviews on this topic include those
of Goodwin (1), Davies (2), Olson (3), van Vliet (4), Erdman et al. (5), Parker
(6,7), Furr and Clark (8), Castenmiller and West (9), van den Berg (10), Lee et al.
(11), Parker et al. (12), Krinsky and Russell (13), and Khachik et al. (14).
