Synonyms: carroty, red, ginger.
More synonyms: amber, apricot, flame, gold, golden, old gold, auburn, peach, tangerine, titian."

"Carotene is responsible for the orange colour of the carrots and many other fruits and vegetables.The term carotene is used for several related substances having the formula C40H56. Carotene contributes to photosynthesis by transmitting the light energy it absorbs to chlorophyll.
Carotene can be stored in the liver and converted to vitamin A as needed, thus making it a pro-vitamin"
