Thereafter, CROZIER determined the structure of tunaxanthin to be 3, 3'-dihydoxy-ε-carotene by partition coefficient. The present authors isolated tunaxanthin like pigment (neothxanthin) from the fin and integuments of Kiwada, Neothunus albacora. From its absorption spectrum and partition coefficient, this carotenoid was presumed to be 3-hydroxy-ε-carotene and an intermediate of tunaxanthin from ε-carotene.}, pages = {33--37}, title = {The Existence of 3-Hydroxy-ε-carotene (Neothxanthin) in Kiwada, Neothunnus albacora}, volume = {26}, year = {} }
