Abstract

Cycloviolaxanthin (= (3 S ,5 R ,6 R ,3′ S ,5′ R ,6′ R )‐3.6:3′,6′‐Diepoxy‐5,6,5′,6′‐tetrahydro‐β,β‐carotene‐5,5′‐diol), a Novel Carotenoid from Red Paprika ( Capsicum annuum ) From red paprika ( Capsicum annuum var. longum nigrum ) cycloviolaxanthin was isolated as a minor carotenoid and, based on spectral data, assigned the symmetrical structure 8 .
