Kinetic model for studying the isomerization of alpha and beta-carotene during heating and illumination.

The provitamin A β-carotene from carrots does not actually help people to see in the dark unless they suffer from vitamin A deficiency. In some people, it may trigger swelling of the throat or a severe allergic shock (anaphylaxis) ( 45, 46, 47). is cross-reactive with homologues in birch pollen (Bet v 1) and mugwort pollen (Art v 1), most carrot allergy sufferers are also allergic to pollen from these plants.
