Carotenes and carotenoids in natural biological samples: a Raman spectroscopic analysis

“…Observation of the entries in Table 1 Table 1. data; in this respect, the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) tissue is a good example of the anomaly that we have highlighted and which prompted the execution of this study. In this particular case, the literature has described the presence of β-carotene (10-40 µg/g) and α-carotene (6.8-27.4 µg/g) for the pulp [40,54] and β-carotene (17 µg/g), lutein (10 µg/g), violaxanthin (8.2 µg/g) and zeaxanthin (2.4 µg/g) in the rind, [24,36,37] all containing nine conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds in the polyene chain. The Raman spectra obtained for both the lycopene and zeaxanthin standards are also presented in Table S1 (Supporting Information), from which it is seen that the C C band wavenumbers have a 10 cm −1 difference in comparison with the other two carotenoid features which have band wavenumber differences of only 2 and 0 cm −1 , respectively.…”

Capacidade antioxidante e composição química da casca de maracujá (Passiflora edulis)

“…O maracujá Passifl ora edulis, conhecido como maracujá azedo ou amarelo, é o mais produzido e comercializado , representando 95% dos pomares (MELETTI & BRUKNER, 2001). Seu cultivo está basicamente voltado para a indústria de sucos e polpas, em especial devido ao seu sabor mais ácido e maior rendimento ; além de apresentar em sua composição elevado teor de carotenoides (15,36 a 27,14mg g -1 ) (SILVA & MERCADANTE, 2002).…”
