C-27 Apocarotenoids in the Flowers of Boronia megastigma (Nees)

Abstract: Five C-27 apocarotenoids were detected in acetone extracts of the flowers of Boronia megastigma (Nees) using HPLC with UV-vis photodiode array and MS detection. Comparison of methylated and unmethylated extracts aided identification when considered with the UV-vis and MS data. The five apocarotenoids identified here were hydroxy-apo-10'-carotenoic acid (1), methyl hydroxy-apo-10'-carotenoate (2), apo-10'-carotenoic acid (3), apo-10'-carotenal (4), and methyl apo-10'-carotenoate (5). The data obtained was not s… Show more

“…5). Their UV spectra were similar to those of C 27 apocarotenoid structural variants recently reported with single absorption maxima between 428 and 440 nm (Cooper et al, 2003). In particular, these spectra matched most closely to several C 27 carboxylic acids reported by those authors.…”

“…7). At least three key fragments (m/z 409, 391, and 269) conform precisely to major fragments obtained earlier by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization MS and MS/MS from a nonglycosylated 3-hydroxy-b-apo-10#-carotenoic acid (Cooper et al, 2003), corroborating the proposed structure. While there is still ambiguity on the position of the double bond in the cyclohexene ring (b-or a-ionone type), the a-ionone («-ring) type appears to be more likely.…”

“…accumulate crocetin and those of Crocosmia accumulate crocin 38,46 . Various apocarotenoids such as β-ionone, 10'-apocaroten-10'-oic acid, and hydroxy 10'-apocaroten-10'-oic acid are found in the petals of boronia (Boronia megastigma) 5,6 . The red stigma of crocus (Crocus sativus), from which the spice saffron is derived, accumulates a unique mixture of apocarotenoids-crocetin glycosides, picrocrocin, and safranal-which are responsible for the color, taste, and aroma of saffron.…”
