A method is described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of configurational isomers of zeaxanthin (= 3,3' -dihydroxy-P, p -carotene) and lutein (= 3 3 -dihydroxya-carotene). It is based on the reaction of these zeaxanthin and lutein isomers with (S)-(+)-e-(l -naphthyl) ethyl isocyana

Abstract
The temperature dependent CD. spectra of (3__S__, 3′R)‐ and (3__S__, 3′S)‐adonixanthin are compared with those of (3__R__, 3′R)‐zeaxanthin (1) and (3__S__, 3′S)‐astaxanthin (2). The room temperature spectra of 1 and 2 are quite similar. On cooling to −180° the CD. of 1 simply intensifies, the CD. of 2 changes sign and becomes also very intense. The room‐temperature CD. of (3__S__, 3′R)‐adonixanthin (3) resembles closely those of 1 and 2 at room temperature. On cooling, however, it becomes weak and changes strongly its shape. With (3__S__, 3′S)‐adonixanthin (4) it is the low‐temperature spectrum which resembles that of 2 at low temperature, whereas the room‐temperature spectrum is weak and quite different in shape. These observations can be explained with temperature dependent equilibria where the end groups are twisted out of the plain of the chain thereby conferring chirality to the conjugated system.

## Abstract A method is described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of configurational isomers of astaxanthin. It is based on the esterification of astaxanthin with (—)‐camphanic acid chloride and analysis of the corresponding diesters by HPLC.
