Xanthophyll fraction was also submitted to the thin layer chromatography using microcel-C as adsorbent and 15% acetone in petroleum ether as developing solvent. In Hypnea charoides the major carotenoids were α-carotene, β-carotene and lurein. The existence of phytoene was confirmed and also the existence of ε-carotene, prolycopene like and taraxanthin like compounds was identified. Neoxanthin having epoxide was present in very little amounts.}, pages = {27--38}, title = {Comparative Biochemistry of Carotenoids in Algae III : On Carotenoids in Hypnea Charoides}, volume = {15}, year = {} }
