Abstract

The composition and content of carotenoids were studied in the body of Black sea gastropod Rapana venosa. The methods of thin layer and high performance liquid chromatography, mass-spectra and the spectra in UV-VIS diapason were used for isolation and identification of compounds belonging to this group. 84–87% of carotenoids were identified. The main part of them is presented by mytiloxanthin—28–30%. Other—pectenolon, diatoxanthin, alloxanthin—composed 10–15% of total content, with exception of β-carotene—3–4%. The fraction containing complex esters of pectenolon, diatoxanthin, alloxanthin and mytiloxanthin was also isolated. It composes 17–20% of the pigments of carotene row. The minor components were not determined. Study discusses the pathways of carotenoid metabolic transformation in the R. venosa tissues studying trophic system “mollusc-filter—mollusc-predator” on examples of Mytilus galloprovincialis and R. venosa.
