PREVIOUS investigations have shown that when pure f-carotene is adsorbed repeatedly on alumina it changes into a pigment having the same absorption spectrum as oa-carotene but differing in other properties. After isolation the new pigment was named pseudo-a-carotene [Gillam & El Ridi, 1935; 1936].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
