Abstract

Abstract:

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to identify salmon aquacultured with synthetic astaxanthin through determining relative ratio of chiral isomers of astaxanthin in salmon. Astaxanthin was extracted from flesh of salmon, passed through a Sep-Pak silica gel column for purification, and then analyzed by HPLC. The chromatographic conditions were Pirkle covalent L-leucine column (4.6 mm×25 cm, 5μm) as the stationary phase, hexane-tetrahydrofuran- 2-propanol-triethylamine (77:17:3:3, V/V) as mobile phase with flow rate of 0.75 ml/min, and detection wavelength at 474 nm. Distribution of chiral isomers of astaxanthin in wild salmon and salmon fed with natural feedstuff was similar. However, it revealed a significant difference in salmon fed with synthetic astaxanthin.

Key words: astaxanthin, chiral isomer, salmon, HPLC
