Definitions
The water-soluble part of the yellow carotenoid pigment present in the cell sap of some plants.
Word origin
Borrowed from French xantheine, apparently an arbitrary respelling to distinguish it from the similarly spelled xanthine. Ultimately from Ancient Greek; see xanthine. By surface analysis, xanth- + -ein.
