Carotenoids of Ruby Red grapefruit pulp and peel were examined by countercurrent distribution followed by chromatography. The 2 principal pulp pigments were lycopene and beta-carotene, accompanied by lesser amounts of phytofluene and zeta-carotene. Phy-toene was a major constituent of the pulp, and was the leading constituent of the peel, followed by phytofluene. Countercurrent distribution showed both monols and diols (plus polyols), in much smaller amounts than the hydrocarbons. On chromatography fractions from both pulp and peel were complex, about 13 constituents being found in both pulp and peel carotenoids. Most or all of the xanthophylls found in oranges and tangerines were present as minor constituents, including "hydroxy-alpha-carotene", cryptoxanthin, cryptoflavin-like (peel only), rubix-anthin-like, lutein, antheraxanthin (pulp only), luteoxanthins, mutatox-anthins, valenciachromes, and auroxanthins. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: A.
