all-trans-antheraxanthin + L-ascorbate = all-trans-zeaxanthin + L-dehydroascorbate + H2O
all-trans-zeaxanthin + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + O2 + 2 H(+) = all-trans-antheraxanthin + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + H2O
all-trans-zeaxanthin + 2 O2 = 4,9-dimethyldodeca-2,4,6,8,10-pentaenedial + 2 (3R)-hydroxy-beta-ionone
all-trans-zeaxanthin + 2 O2 = crocetin dialdehyde + 2 3beta-hydroxy-beta-cyclocitral
