Abstract

The astaxanthin molecule has two geometric isomers, cis or trans on account of the double bond from the polyene chain. The separation of these isomers is quite difficult using ordinary techniques. The conditions of ligand exchange chromatography for stereoisomer separation were examined using an astaxanthin stereoisomer. A C18 column was used with a mobile phase consisting of an acetonitrile-chloroform-methanol chiral mobile phase additive solution (containing different concentrations of L-serine and copper sulfate) at flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The effects of different kinds and concentrations of ligands, bivalent ligand ions and organic modifier were evaluated. The astaxanthin isomers could be obtained from heat-treating the astaxanthin standard, which were confirmed by the ultraviolet-visible and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
