| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Capsorubin, is a carotenoid pigment. It is also a metabolite of a Xanthophyll (X742000) with a structure containing unusual five-membered ring end groups. It is found in red peppers (Capsicum annuum), which has shown to have Antioxidant, Antinociceptive, and Anti-inflammatory effects. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Capsorubin is a carotenone. | [Purification Methods]
Possible impurities are zeaxanthin and capsanthin. Purify capsorubin by chromatography on a column of CaCO3 or MgO. Crystallise it from *benzene/pet ether or CS2. [Beilstein 1 |
