***, P<0.001 Carotenoid concentration and composition were determined through extraction, purification and chromatographic analysis using UPLC in Pectoralis major muscle samples from populations of chicken with the two linked SNP (n = 11 for GN₅₇G and n = 9 for AN₅₇A). Lutein and zeaxanthin were the sole carotenoids detected in the samples. Their concentrations were 1.9 and 1.8-fold higher for lutein and for zeaxanthin, respectively, in GN₅₇G than in AN₅₇A chicken (P<0.001).
