IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, characterized from the plant Crocus sativus, acts twice on zeaxanthin, cleaving 3-hydroxycyclocitral off each 3-hydroxy end group. It is part of the zeaxanthin degradation pathway in that organism, leading to the different compounds that impart the color, flavor and aroma of the saffron spice.
