Diadinoxanthin is a type of carotenoid pigment found primarily in certain algae and plants. It belongs to a group of pigments known as xanthophylls, which are characterized by their yellow and orange colors. Diadinoxanthin is particularly important in the photosynthetic apparatus of some marine phytoplankton, such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, where it plays a role in light harvesting and photoprotection.
