PG - 57-85 LID - S0076-6879(22)00005-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/bs.mie.2022.01.005 [doi] AB - Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a preferred method used to identify and quantify carotenoids. Here, we describe a straightforward, reliable, and cost-effective protocol to purify and develop individual carotenoid standards for absolute quantification of carotenoids, including selected cis-trans (geometric) isomers. Analytical techniques to extract, purify and collect individual carotenoids using an HPLC system equipped with a Diode Array Detector (DAD) and fraction collector are described. Carotenoids were separated and identified by their characteristic ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra and individually isolated based on their retention times using a C30 column. This chapter outlines how to prepare standard calibration curves using known quantities of purified and/or commercially available carotenoids. A series of molar extinction and slope coefficients for phytoene, phytofluene, zeta-carotene, neurosporene, pro-lycopene, all trans-lycopene, lutein, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin, violaxanthin, neoxanthin, capsanthin, capsorubin and beta-cryptoxanthin are defined to enable absolute quantification of their abundance in plant, animal, and bacterial tissues. Different approaches for reporting carotenoid abundance by absolute concentration, relative composition, and/or using ratios of different pigments are provided as a convenient resource for carotenoid researchers.
