据报道，类胡萝卜素几乎能与生物系统中可能遇到的任何自由基发生反应。这种反应的产物通常是寿命较短的自由基，可以衰变为更稳定的产物。在某些情况下，可以观察到稳定的加合物，但在与自由基的大多数相互作用中，类胡萝卜素分解成降解产物，与氧化降解非常相似。直到最近，人们才开始研究这些分解产物的生物活性。(C) 2003 Elsevier Science（美国）版权所有。
Carotenoids have been reported to react with virtually any radical species likely to be encountered in a biological system. The products of such reactions are frequently short-lived radical species that can decay to more stable products. In some cases, stable adducts can be observed, but in the majority of interactions with radicals, carotenoids break down to degradation products very similar to what is seen with oxidative degradation. It is only recently that the biological activity of these breakdown products has begun to be investigated. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
