The singlet oxygen quenching ability of various naturally occurring carotenoids was examined by measuring toluidine blue-sensitized photooxidation of linoleic acid. To assess quenching, the oxidation of linoleic acid was followed by measuring oxygen consumption and ultraviolet absorbance at 235 nm. We found that oxygen quenching increased as the number of conjugated double bonds in the carotenoids increased, but quenching varied with chain structure and functional groups. Acyclic carotenoids… Expand
