The existence of β-carotene (10.1%), lutein (5.2%), zeaxanthin (10.9%), isomytiloxanthin (34.7%) and mytiloxanthin (26.6%) in mussel was confirmed, and the compound produced from isomytiloxanthin by saponification was presumed to be 3'-hydroxy-7', 8'-ε, β-carotene-3-one (isomytiloxanthone) by MS.}, pages = {9--16}, title = {Carotenoids in Sea Mussel, Mytilus edilus}, volume = {28}, year = {} }
