The chemical reactions and pathways involving tetraterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with eight isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of carotenoids, tetraterpenoid compounds in which two units of 4 isoprenoid residues joined head-to-tail are themselves joined tail-to-tail. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tetraterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with eight isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of xanthophylls, oxygen-containing carotenoids. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of terpenoids, any member of a class of compounds characterized by an isoprenoid chemical structure. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of carotenes, hydrocarbon carotenoids.
