Abstract

Carotenes extracted from a green alga, Bryopsis maxima, were determined to consist of α-carotene as a major fraction of more than 99% by means of B/E constant linked scanning, HPLC with a Ca(OH)2 column and the absorption spectrum. The linked scanning showed the fragmentation characteristic of α-carotene, whose reaction has been well-documented as retro Diels-Alder fragmentation.
