Abstract

Carotenoids represent a wide group of biologically active molecules found in nature with important applications in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. For example, lutein and its isomers meso- and trans-zeaxanthin are globally the best-selling carotenoids in terms of market value owing to their benefits to eye health. Here, the development of a solvent-free mechanochemical epimerization protocol to convert naturally occurring lutein into 3′-epilutein-enriched mixtures (up to dr 37:63 lutein/3′-epilutein) by using a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin as an “eco-friendly” catalyst is reported.
