From bergamot oil (Citrus hcrgamia KISSO), (-)-(4S, 8R)-S-epi-a-bisaboloI (2) and (-)-(4R, 8S)-4-epi-p-bisa-bolo1 (3) were isolated. The absolute configuration of their stereoisomers 4 and 5 was established by an enantioselective synthesis starting from (-)-(S)-p-mentha-l,8-dien-4-ol. The bisabolol

## Abstract For many years it was accepted that 6 mg of β‐carotene were required to produce 1 mg of vitamin A in the form of retinol. The equivalence was based on the assumptions that two‐thirds of dietary β‐carotene are not absorbed, while in the metabolism of the remaining third 1 mol of β‐carote
The synthesis of 10,lO' 19,19 , 19,19' , 19' 19'-2H8p-carotene is described. The double condensation (C15+C o+C15=C40) of the Wittig salt of 9 , 9 , 9 , 10-2H4-pionyliaene ethanol with the symmetrical Cl0 dial 2,7- dimethyl-2 , 4 , 6-octatrienedial led directly to 2H -pcarotene. The symmetrical labe
In response to a need for relative large amounts of highly labeled 14C p carotene, a search was made for a biological system which would supply an adequate amount of carotene with sufficient label. Methods previously described did not appear to be adequate appear to devote a greater part of their me
