“…This is demonstrated by the 12 eV spectrum, which shows more clearly the molecular ion of the carotenoid. Further peaks of diagnostic value are caused by loss of acetic acid (m/e 548; M-60) from the fl-ring, and by elimination of toluene (m/e 516; M-92), and xylene (m/e 502; M-106) from the polyene chain (Schwieter et al, 1965). Also, multiple fragmentations were observed: m/e 456 (M-60-92) and m/e 442 (M-60-106).…”
Summary. 3-Hydroxy-fl,e-caroten-3'-one (3'-dehydrolutein) was isolated from the moths Actias selene and Cerura vinula. The structure is based on chemical, chromatographical, electron, and mass spectroscopic data. The carotenoid is identical to a semi-synthetic sample obtained from lutein by Oppenauer oxidation. It seems to be widespread among Saturuiid and other moths, and is probably derived from dietary lutein.

“…Zum Bestimmen der Astaxanthin-und Lycopinkonzentration wurden die Carotinoide mit n-Hexan extrahiert. Dann wurde der Gesamtcarotinoidgehalt spektrophotometrisch (U2000, Hitachi Europe GmbH, Düsseldorf) bestimmt [10,11] der Ölphase während der Versuche weitgehend konstant gehalten werden (s. Abb. 3A).…”
Synthesis of Optically Active Carotenoids with (R)‐4‐Hydroxy β‐End Groups
We describe the synthesis of optically active iso‐β‐kryptoxanthin (12; (R)‐β,β‐caroten‐4‐ol), iso‐α‐kryptoxanthins 14 ((4R,6′RS)‐β,ε‐caroten‐4‐ol) and 16 ((4R,6′R)‐β,ε‐caroten‐4‐ol), 4′‐hydroxyechinenone (18; (R)‐4′‐hydroxy‐β,β‐caroten‐4‐one), and isorubixanthin (20; (R)‐β,ω,‐caroten‐4‐ol), their 400‐MHz‐1H‐NMR spectra, CD spectra and HPLC behaviour.
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.
