Abstract

The qualitative composition of the most important biologically active lipid substances-carotenoids and chlorophyll derivatives of the White sea algaeSaccharina latissimahas been studied. The lipid extract was separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and examined by matrix-associated laser desorption-ionization with mass-spectrometric analysis (MALDI-MS). The extract contained fucoxanthin, fucoxanthinol, pheophytin a, pheophorbide a, as well as other carotenoids and chlorophylls, including those not described in the literature. The results obtained, which significantly expand the information about the composition of S. latissima pigments, can be used to standardize raw materials and preparations based on these algae.
