Abstract
We investigated the presence of different carotenoids in male human subject after the ingestion of paprika juice, and identified capsanthin, capsantho ne, cucurbitaxanthin A, 11-cis-capsanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin in the hum an plasma. These results suggest that capsanthone and 11-cis-capsanthin mig ht be as important as capsanthin for human health.
