In photobiologyPlants: Plant Photobiology Related Functions and Data

Absorbance spectra for carotenoids.

Description

A dataset containing the wavelengths at an arbitrary nm interval. Tabulated values for the in vitro absorbance spectrum of beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, 3-4,di-hydro-lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene, violaxanthin and zeaxanthin. Data were digitized from plots downloaded from LipidBase (https://lipidbank.jp/), The official database of Japanese Conference on the Biochemistry of Lipids (JCBL). Data contributed to LipinBank by Takaichi Sinichi.

Format

A filter_mspct with eight member filter_spct objects each with 300 rows and 2 numeric variables, w.length and A

Details

The variables of the member spectra are as follows:

• w.length (nm)

• A (spectral absorbance)

Note

If you use these data in a publication, please cite also the original source as given under references in addition to this package.
