According to European Feed Additives Manufacturers Association (FEFANA):
Carotenoids are naturally transpiring pigments predominantly accountable for the array of yellow to red hues observed in flora, fauna, fungi, avifauna, and aquatic organisms such as fish flesh, the cuticle of crustaceans, or insects. For instance, the yellow-orange hue of carrots arises from one of the most recognizable carotenoids and a precursor of vitamin A, β-carotene, from which the nomenclature of this entire category of innate pigments originates.
