Abstract
Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar, L.), kept in sea pens were fed diets containing pure carotenoids. No significant preferential utilization of the (3 S,3′ S), (3R,3′ S) or (3R,3′ R) optical isomers of astaxanthin was observed. No epimerization occurred in the flesh at the chiral centres at C-3 and C-3′ in astaxanthin.
