French

Domaine(s)

OBS

La lettre grecque remplace «bêta» dans le rapport technique no 557 de l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé.

OBS

«Bêta-apocaroténal-8'» semble plus conforme à la nomenclature française que les autres équivalents. Sa graphie est basée sur celles de «bêta-apocaroténal-4» et de «bêta-apocarétonal-2» figurant dans le Dictionnaire de la chimie de A. Duval, p. 89.
