The color of red smear cheeses arises from naturally occurring carotenoids like 3,3′‐dihydroxyisorenieratene ( 1 ). This compound and its oxidation product 2 , which have unusual phenolic and quinoid end groups, respectively, were synthesized. The antioxidant and photoprotective properties of a series of carotenoids were tested with eight different model systems, and 1 proved to be superior to other carotenoids.
