The molecular framework of 13-cis-Astaxanthin (C40H52O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
13-cis-Astaxanthin (CAS 113085-05-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H52O4 and a molecular weight of 596.84 g/mol.
