Abstract

In this paper,the luteinesters was saponated and purified by KOH-methanol methods and silica gel column chromatography,and the content was determined by HPLC.Propyl gallate was used as a positive control,the products of lutein were assessed for their antioxidative effects on hydroxyl.The results demonstrated that the content of lutein was successively increased from 1.35% to 30.25% and 80.32% by saponification and purification.The products of lutein showed obvious scavenging ability to hydroxyl radical,and its antioxidant activity was positively correlated with the content.
