Research has shown that carotenoid acted as light-harvesting pigment when exposed to weak light, and they mainly played an important role in photo-protection when exposed to intense light.
Navorsing het getoon dat karotenoïed opgetree het as die lig-oes pigment wanneer blootgestel aan swak lig, en hulle is hoofsaaklik n belangrike rol gespeel in foto-beskerming wanneer blootgestel aan intense lig.
