Properties Molecular formula C40H56 Molar mass 536.873 Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa) Infobox references δ-Carotene or ε,ψ-carotene is a form of carotene with an ε-ring at one end, and the other uncyclized. It is an intermediate synthesis product in some photosynthetic plants between lycopene and α-carotene (β,ε-carotene) or ε-carotene (ε,ε-carotene).[1] δ-Carotene is fat soluble.
