Abstract

About 750 naturally occurring carotenoids had been reported as of 2004. Furthermore, annually, more than 20 new structures of carotenoids are reported. Improvements of analytical instruments such as NMR, MS, HPLC, etc., have made it possible to perform the structural elucidation of very minor carotenoids in nature. Interesting new structural carotenoids can still be identified in aquatic animals and higher plants. The present paper provides a review of new structural carotenoids isolated from aquatic animals and higher plants by our group over the last five years.

摘要

截至2004年，已报道约750种天然存在的类胡萝卜素。此外，每年还有超过20种新的类胡萝卜素结构被报道。核磁共振（NMR）、质谱（MS）、高效液相色谱（HPLC）等分析仪器的改进，使得对自然界中含量极少的类胡萝卜素进行结构解析成为可能。在水生动物和高等植物中仍能鉴定出有趣的新型结构类胡萝卜素。本文综述了我们小组在过去五年中从水生动物和高等植物中分离出的新型结构类胡萝卜素。
