(A) Thin-layer chromatography of standard β-carotene (lane 1), standard fucoxanthin (FX) (lane 2), the purified FX sample of ND-8 (lane 3), and the methanol and acetone extract of ND-8 (lane 4) on a silica plate. (B–C) High-performance liquid chromatogram and mass spectra of standard FX and ND-8 FX eluted by the silica gel column chromatography; the mobile phases used were methanol and deionized water, the mobile phase flow rate was 0.3 ml.min–1. Retention times: standard FX, 6.41 min; ND-8 FX, 6.02 min. The diagnostic ions of standard FX are at m/z 641.46 (M + H-HOH)+, 681.81 (M + Na)+, and 1,339.83 (2M + Na)+. The diagnostic ions of ND-8 FX are at m/z 641.46 (M + H-HOH)+, 681.80 (M + Na)+, and 1,339.83 (2M + Na)+.
