Abstract
When [beta]-carotene, dissolved in skel-lysolve B, was adsorbed on activated alumina the chromato-gram developed with CHC13 had 2 bands, a"T" band which moved slowly and the [beta]-carotene band which moved rapidly down the column. The former has maximum absorption at 427, the latter at 450 m[mu]. The T pigment is formed continuously if it is constantly removed, perhaps due to isomerization of [beta]-carotene. The absorption spectrum of T pigment resembles a combined absorption curve pigment band C3a4 separated from the carotene fraction of yellow corn and absorption curves of [beta]-carotene.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
