SUMMARY— More than 50 carotenoids were isolated from the juice of Shamouti orange (Citrus sinensis [L] Osb.) using a combination of column and thin layer chromatography. In addition to carotenoids usually found in citrus, others not previously detected in common orange varieties were identified. These include γ-carotene, rubixanthin, the new ketones sinthaxanthin and its OH-derivative, as well as lutein 5,6-monoepoxide. The dial-polyol fraction was most predominant yielding about 70% of the total carotenoids. It was established that low pigmentation of Shamouti orange juice is due to its low total carotenoid content rather than the absence of colored carotenoids.
