Xanthophylls are a class of pigments found in plants, algae, and some microorganisms. They are responsible for the yellow coloration seen in various plant parts, particularly in leaves. As the name suggests, xanthophylls are typically yellow in color, ranging from pale yellow to deep golden hues. They play a significant role in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy and protecting plants from excess light damage.
