The carotenoids in the integuments of tilapia
Tilapia nilotica were re-examined from the stereochemical point of view,
(1) Tunaxanthin A(1), luteiu, and zeaxanthin previously reported were mixtures of the following two to three stereoisomers; tunaxanthin A (1)-tunaxanthin A (1) and tunaxanthin F (lactucaxanthin) (2), lutein-lutein A (3) and lutein D (4), and zeaxanthin-(3R, 3'R)-zeaxanthin (5), (3R, 3'S)-zeaxanthin (6) and (3S, S'S)-zeaxanthin (7), respectively. And also, rhodoxanthin fraction was separated into three geometric isomers, (6Z, 6'Z)-rhodoxanthin (8), (6'Z)-rhodoxanthin (9) and (all E)-rhodoxanthin (10).
(2) (6R, 6'R)-ε, ε-carotene-3, 3'-dione (11), (6S, 6'S)-ε, ε-carotene-3, 3'-dione (12), (3R, 6'R)-3-hydroxy-β, ε-caroten-3'-one (13), (3R, 6'S)-3-hydroxy-β, ε-caroten-3'-one (14), (3R, 6R, 6'S)-3-hydroxy-ε, ε-caroten-3'-one (15) and (3R, 6R, 6'R)-3-hydroxy-ε, ε-caroten-3'-one (16) were addi-tionally found in the fish together with carotenoids mentioned above by using an innovatory method.
