Abstract
Reactions between a carotenoid, fucoxanthin and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl were investigated both under anoxic and aerobic conditions. Fucoxanthin equimolarly reacted with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl under anoxic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, only a part of fucoxanthin consumed 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and the degree of reaction fluctuated with repeated trials. beta-Carotene or other carotenoids, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, licopen and lutein, were also examined in the reaction with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl under anoxic conditions. All these compounds scarcely reacted with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl.Entities:
